Why Hire Maddie?

I like to get right to the point: why should you hire me? What sets me apart from other potential candidates? This how I would sum it up:

Extensive coding knowledge

UC Irvine's Informatics Major (5 years), Work (5 Years) and my own personal tinkering have taught me not just coding languages, but how to learn coding languages. I also know a lot about the software development process and technology in general.

Team Player and Diverse

I love to socialize, get to know people, and work together on projects. I am a LGBTQIA+ woman and I bring a fresh perspective to the workplace. I have also had multiple teaching and leadership oppurtunites across my career.

Adaptability

I'm always willing to learn and test new frameworks, dig through the documentation, and get right into work. I can say with confidence that I can learn and use whatever langauge is necessary, because I have strong knowledge of object oriented programming fundamentals.

User Focus

As part of my work as a web applications developer, and as part of my studies in Human Computer Interaction, I have a strong focus on creating readable code and usable software. I also feel very confident in my ability to perform QA to ensure a high level of quality in my work.

Appreciation for art and design

Good design and aesthetic I find essential to making a polished, professional product. When I code, I keep the whole project in mind and work with design and project management teams to create polished work.

Passionate

Programming and Gaming are what I truly love to work on and create, and I will always give 100% to what I am passionate about.

Work and Education

Here is the work experience I am most proud of. There is much more on my resume, but here are the highlights:

Cox Automotive

Cox Automotive is a Automotive API Software Company, focusing on car sales and data. At Cox Auto I work as a level 2 Python developer but my position could be better described as a full stack API developer. At Cox I have fully embraced working in a commercial setting as a software developer, working on multiple projects, with many different languages and software architectures such as AWS, Python, React and so many more. I also had the oppurtunity to teach another team about my own expereince developing APIs on multiple informational learning sessions, as a head start toward becoming a senior developer, and to strengthen my role as Sofware II.

Global Wave Group

Global Wave Group is a Financial Software Company, focusing on commercial loans. GWG was my first career level job working as an associate programmer, full time. I used the oppurtunity to prove my excellent programming skills by learning their platform with little to no training. I learned and used Visual Basic and Windows Powershell scripting on my own, and refreshed my Microsoft Transact SQL skills, which I had not used since high school. I also used javascript on a few projects.

KWALL LLC

During College I worked part-time for KWALL LLC. Kwall is a Web development company which specialzes in higher education and goverment websties. I learned a lot at Kwall about Software development, as it was my first time working in a professional software environment. I primarily performed QA, but I also coded in HTML and CSS, and using Drupal CMS.

UC Irivine

At UC Irvine I studied Informatics, a programming major which focused on how software, computers and people interact. I primarily used Python, Java and C programming, and specialized in studying Human Computer Interaction. I graduated in 2020, with my Informatics Bachelor's in Science Degree.

Wave Gymnastics Website and Payment service

For Wave Gymnastics I created a simple website, and set up their payment service through stripe. I also used curl a few times to perform configuration on their Stripe account.
