Achievements
2019 Member of Daimler Hackathon Winning Team Austin, TX
We had been asked to help with technician efficiency and help them improve their repair and maintenance process. So we created an app that used AWS Lex to serve as the voice assistant and use lambda functions to handle the step procedure. It also kept track of the time between steps to help understand where slowdown happen. At the end if the technician had completed the task before the standard time, they would be prompted to contribute as to how they did it faster.
Experience
Self Employed 09/2018 to current
Freelance laborer, McKinney, TX
I do drywall and painting a few days a week to keep the lights on while I build my development skills. I spend the rest of my time doing courses, creating micro services and apps to apply and push my skills.
App Developer 07/2019 to 10/2019
Reinforce LLC, Austin, TX
After winning a hackathon the sponsoring company wanted us to make a company and they would fund its development. However, after months of work they chose not to fund us so we had to go our separate ways. Working on this project I learned to use React Native, AWS Lex, AWS lambda functions and make micro-services.
