Profile image of a very stylish and handsome software developer I am an undergraduate student pursuing a Bachelors in Software Engineering from the University of Texas Arlington (UTA). I'm currently the Vice-President of Mobi, a non-profit organization of 500+ members, and the third-largest at UTA. Our organization aims to promote an inclusive, tight-knit community within the software engineering and computer science space where students can make friends and learn from each other. I am looking for an internship as a Software Developer for a company that values their employees and has a good work-life balance. If you believe I am a good fit for your company, please contact me through any of the methods listed above.

Mobi is a community-driven developer club based at the University of Texas at Arlington. We strive to make an inclusive learning environment where students can come together to teach and learn from each other. We hold regular events with various topics including social coding, hackathons, resume workshops, and community driven projects.

Mobi has been redesigned to become more focused on inclusivity and community building. To match the new vision in summer 2022, it was decided to rip out all the old administration to build the non-profit organization from the ground up. This meant making a new constitution, administration documentation, financial strategy, logo, resource documentation, design templates, marketing strategy, roadmap, onboarding/offboarding strategy, social media, and websites updates. The effort is not wasted, as the foundation laid this summer will allow for a clearer future. As the Vice-President of Mobi, I am glad to be part of the group of hard-working officers that have help lead the direction change for the organization. Check out some of the organization's social links below.

Projects

MavStudy

MavStudy was created to bring students at the University of Texas At Arlington an easy to use phone app focused on the Central library. We worked together with Duncan Mathew, an adminstrator at the Central library, on developement of the Application. The app focused on two key areas:

  1. Allowing students to book central library rooms remotely
  2. Allowing users to see items available to rent from the central library

When the user is booking a room they will have the option to select the room, date, and time from the app. When the user is looking to borrow an item they will get a picture of aforementioned item, a short descriptions showing how long they can borrow an item, and how many are currently in stock. The user will also have access to their past room booking details. The app also had all the usual features such as login verification, user profile customization, and a history view.

Technologies

  • Flutter: Was selected for its ability to allow us to deploy the app easily on Android, iOs, and the Browser.
  • Dart: primary language used by Flutter
  • Firebase: allowed us to easily sync changes between the different system the MavStudy supported
  • Agile: Allowed the flexibility needed to complete the app in a semester

Octagon Temple

Octagon Temple is a community driven software project spearhead by Mobi and CSEC. The goal of the project is to develope a point system that can be used by clubs in the university to track members engagement. The project revolved around the idea of using an NFC token to store points in a decentralized manner. The NFC token could then be scanned in an PN532 NFC reader that was connected to a raspeberri pi for authentication, reading, and writting of the Token. The user will also be able to check their points on an app that is made using the React Native Framework. The team working on Octagon Temple is assembled by a broad range of students from the University of Texas at Arlignton.

Technologies

  • React Native: Was selected for its ability to allow us to deploy the app easily on Android, iOs, and the Browser.
  • JavaScript: primary language used by React Native
  • C: Used for the Libgcrypt library for and the NFC functionality of the app
  • Agile: was used to simulate an eviroment of working in a mordern day software developer setting
