Skills


I have 2 years of C++ experience. It is the first language I have learned. Some of the projects that I have worked on in C++ include a text file scanner that the returns the frequency of the words used and more information about the document.


I have used Python in web development and in data. For web development I used the Flask framework for the backend of the web application. Through Python, the web application was able to interact with a legacy database and local database. Also, the program was also able to send automatic emails and process credit card transactions. In data, I have data manipulation packages such as NumPy.


I have used HTML/CSS on various projects. These projects have beein either websites such as this one, or web applications such as ShoeCirus.com. HTML was used to created the basic layout for the site while CSS to optimize the user interface.


I have used various JavaScript frameworks and libraries. These frameworks include React.js, Swiper.js, and jQuery. I also have experience with Node.js. I used JavaScript in projects such as the Auto Store web application, which uses React.js, and this website.


I have 2 years of experience in MySQL. I have experience writing queries, creating tables, manipulating tables, and retrieving data from those tables in MySQL. I have used MySQL in both ShoeCirus.com and the Auto Store web application. Both of these web application interact with a MySQL database in the backend to either retrieve info or insert data into the database.


I have 2 years of PHP experience. The ShoeCircus.com application has a PHP backend. With PHP, the application is able to interact with a MySQL database, which helps display information about the shoes and the user. Also, I was a Teaching Assistant in a class that used PHP extensively.
