Work Experience, Mountain View, CA Summer 2012Software Engineering Intern for the Implemented JavaBean data validation for GWT, based on the specification

Provides a built-in framework for GWT developers to easily check if data (such as user-entered form data) is validHad to be implemented entirely without, which is not used by GWT. This added significant technical challenge and required the use of alternate approaches, such as Implementation passes all offical Hibernate testsWorked to fully implement what began as an unsupported, incomplete feature and have it added to the public "Release" version of GWTUsed test-driven development to ensure all code is tested and works correctly, Austin, TX Summer 2011Technical Intern for IBM Extreme Blue™, IBM's premier worldwide internship programWorked on project to redesign IBM's virtual machine management software for its
