EMPLOYMENT HISTORY

Orbital Engineering Hammond, IN

2018-2020

Web Developer

- I was responsible for implementing new features, maintaining applications, and refactoring existing code across a variety of internal and external apps used throughout the organization

- Main languages that I use: PHP and JavaScript, MySQL. Frameworks: CodeIgniters, and Bootstrap.

- I’ve also created a tablet app using JavaScript in Visual Studios:

The apps main purpose was to allow inspectors to enter their findings using the tablet (instead of using paper forms).

When the inspection was finished, they can then upload the data they entered, as well as the photos they took straight back to the server.

When working on the tablet app using V.S. IDE, we didn’t add any code or scripts within the HTML tag; with the exception of a div tag with an ID. From there, we created JavaScript Prototypes for each page. This made the pages easier to read, and makes it more flexible to add future functionality, it also makes it more efficient to integrate with each other when necessary.

Note: I was laid-off on 4/3/20, the company downsized due to COVID-19
