Full Stack Web Developer, Stanford Center for the Study of Language and Information

(Summer 2017)

The Openproof Project focuses on developing desktop applications to teach computer logic and primarily consists of three software packages. My team worked on rebuilding the class and grade management website to support new features and a cleaner design. As a web developer, I assisted in redesigning the UI/UX, porting legacy code from Tapestry into a maintainable codebase, developing components for the client-side, and writing features such as downloads and database access for the server-side. Our frontend consisted of custom JavaScript and JQuery, and our backend was written in Java with a Jersey-Jackson framework and SQL database. The project is now deployed for production.
