Hire Me Because

I don’t believe in working harder. I believe in working smarter. Doing more work with less, in less time, frees you up to increase productivity.


My Capstone Project: SquareHelp

SquareHelp is an incentive based stop smoking application that rewards users who have been smoke free. Users send verifications to other users to validate that they have been smoke free. After a period of smoke free days, users receive points they can redeem for gift cards at retailers. My contribution to the project was implementing auto-updating chat feature with Java and Javascript, notification system that sends notifications for new verification and messages, and the verification system where users can approve or deny verification requests.

“With technology, I am most passionate about learning. Overcoming the next obstacle, learning from the challenges and hurdles faced. Then taking what I have learned and tackling the next hurdle. There is something you can learn from everyone you meet and everything you do, big or small. If you don't continually learn from your experiences you will not progress in life.
