In addition to the responsibilities of a SE1, as a Software Engineer II I am expected to take on more lead roles during projects, as well as having a more technical understanding of our entire domain. I communicate timeframes, requirements, and “de-techified” explainations to our stakeholders to allow them to understand any work we are doing.

As a Software Engineer I, it is my role to maintain our code using modern code methodologies in coordination with Product Owners, Product Managers, Designers, and other software teams. In my role, I mainly use .NET Core to write applications using technologies like Apache Kafka and RabbitMQ, and pushing that code to private cloud environments using Concourse CI and Github Actions. I also use a small amount of HTML and CSS in my day to day.

As an intern at WVU Medicine, I rotated around various teams in the IT Network Service department. As a result, I was able to get some experience in a wide variety of areas. Some of my projects included setting up Active Directory authentication for a Linux based EMR environment, automating a Citrix depployment script, and implementing monitoring for a multi peta-byte storage array.

As an intern at the WVU Foundation, my main duty was to run the helpdesk call center for our users, assisting with password resets, Citrix installs, and troubleshooting for the CRM system. In addition, I was able to complete several projects, including a script to automate adding rows to an Excel worksheet for record keeping, re-wiring the main network closet, implementing tools to keep real-time inventory of equipment, and building interactive nameplates to allow employees to change their office status on the fly.
