Work experience

Senior Software Engineer, BYU Office of Information Technology, Provo, UT, 09/2014 – Present

● Led backend architecture and development for the CES undergraduate application, customizing it for multiple universities (BYU Hawaii, BYU Idaho, BYU Pathway, Ensign). Worked with several CES leaders to customize the application to their needs. In this project I used the latest technologies such as: AWS beanstalk, ECS, S3, Lambdas, PostgreSQL, MySQL, DynamoDB, VueJS, Node.js, Typescript, Swagger, Git, Docker, GitHub Actions, Terraform, Postman & Runscope.

● Implemented and supported web-based admin tools to facilitate bug fixes, data integrity, and third-party integrations.

● Architected and built decision-processing tools that streamlined application decisions for CES schools.

● Worked on Auto Reg Cart class registration. Students are now able to plan which classes they would like the system to attempt to auto register classes whenever their priority registration day clears them to register. In this project I used the latest technologies such as: AWS, Mongodb, Polymer, Node.js, Swagger, Git, Docker, Kubernetes, Codeship, Runscope and Ghost Inspector.

● Developed a website both front-end and back-end using BYU C Framework and Oracle database. It allowed students to receive clearance to register for both BYU Evening Classes and Salt Lake Center.

● Developed IoT solutions using LoPy microprocessors with LoRa/WiFi protocols, programming in MicroPython to interact with energy meters and store data in CSV format.

● Engineered IoT devices with Particle microprocessors (Arduino) to collect environmental data from sensors (DHT22, SPS30, RTC, microSD) and send it to Particle Cloud, triggering a Google Cloud Pub/Sub queue for further processing with a Dockerized Python script and storage in an InfluxDB database.

● Deployed and maintained air quality sensors in Mongolian gers, supporting environmental health research.

● Designed and implemented a Grafana dashboard for real-time monitoring, visualizing sensor data, and sending alerts via Slack for missing data, aiding troubleshooting efforts.
