● Currently working on enabling all CES schools and Pathway to use a new application service.

● Worked on enabling all CES schools and Pathway to use a decision processing software which facilitated admissions decision process.

● 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 allows students to receive clearance to register for BYU Evening Classes or Salt Lake Center.
