Education

I graduated from the University of New Hampshire with a Bachelor of Science in 2014 and spent most of my career in the financial services industry. Looking for a change, I discovered software development/engineering. I began to teach myself front-end development and quickly fell in love with coding. With the hopes of pursuing a career in software development/engineering, I enrolled in Boston University's Master of Science in Software Development program, and graduated in 2023. Below is some more information regarding my studies while at Boston University.

Completed Courses

  • Introduction to Software Development (Concepts in discrete mathematics, computer systems, and programming using Python)
  • Information Structures with Python (Concepts for an object-oriented approach to software design and development using Python, application of software engineering principles to design and implement Python applications that can be used in analytics and big data)
  • Data Structures and Algorithms (Fundamental components of programs, use and implementation of data structures to solve computational problems in Java, analysis of algorithms and their computational complexity)
  • Advanced Programming Techniques (Concepts in polymorphism, containers, libraries, method specifications, large-scale code management, use of exceptions, concurrent programming, functional programming, and programming tests in Java)
  • Data Science with Python (Python tools and techniques for data science and machine learning, including Numpy, Pandas, Matplotlib, Seaborn, Scikit-learn, Logistic Regression, Nearest Neighbor, Linear and Polynomial Regression, Naive Bayesian, Decision Trees, Random Forest, Support Vector Machines, and K-Means and other clustering models)
  • Artifical Intelligence (Techniques and ideas that enable computers to behave intelligently, including search, constraint propagations, reasoning, knowledge representation, natural language, learning, question answering, inference, visual perception, and problem solving)
  • Web Application Development (Core competencies in web design and development, including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, AJAX with XML and JSON, and Vue.js)
  • Information Systems Analysis and Design (Object-oriented methods of information systems analysis and design for organizations with data-processing needs, including system feasibility, requirements analysis, database utilization, Unified Modeling Language, software system architecture, design, and implementation, management, project control, and systems-level testing)
