Work Experience

Sunrise Credit Services, Inc. - Programming Intern

As a Programming Intern, I’ve gained hands-on experience working with jBase, MultiValue databases, and web technologies like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and AJAX. This role has helped me build skills in both backend and frontend development while working with legacy code infastructure. I’ve focused on analyzing and improving existing code, identifying bugs, and making performance enhancements. I’ve also worked closely with the Programming Manager to troubleshoot issues and streamline workflows. Additionally, I’ve contributed to documenting code and processes to improve clarity and collaboration within the team.

I was selected for All Star Code's competitive 2020 Summer Intensive Program, where I developed front-end skills in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript through hands-on projects.

Additionally, I was mentored by a Goldman Sachs Software Engineer, gaining insights into industry best practices and professional growth.
