My Experience
.NET Developer
I was super fortunate to be able to find a job at the beginning
of 2023. Even more so that I was able to continue my learning at
Finys. With an environment that pushes me every day to "Be the
best me that I can be." Here I'm working on insurance software
that is specially designed to meet the requirements of our
clients. With a completely new stack and new technology, I'll
have my work cut out for me getting caught up not just with the
software and how it's deployed but also the entirety of
insurance.
Technology I'm Using:
- C# / .NET
- JavaScript
- SQL
- IIS
- MVVM
Software Engineer in Training
After working as a Business Analyst in a very technical role, I
wanted to continue my knowledge for coding. Being able to code
has always been a dream of mine and as luck would have it,
Rocket Mortgage had a Program for just that. They would take
people out of their usual roles and give them the opportunity to
become a developer with the promise of a Junior Developer role
at the end. However, life never turns out the way you hope.
Rocket Mortgage let me finish my certificate but with the
massive tech layoffs of 2022, in early December, I was let go.
I was able to amass a ton of great skills and knowledge that I
would have taken me years of studying on top of my full-time
responsibilities.
Here is a list of the languages/frameworks I was able to get an
understanding for:
- C# / .NET
- JavaScript / TypeScript
- SQL
- Angular
- Git/GitHub
Business Analyst
After working for Rocket's title company for a little over a year,
I decided it was time for me to get back on the horse and really
pursue a career in technology. Working on this specific team was a
dream come true. They were not only helpful and patient with
teaching me the ins and outs of BA work, but they were always
trying to teach me anything related to software development. Here
I achieved amazing things and am to this day surprised at how much
I would be doing inside of Visual Studio with little to no
knowledge of programming.
Some of my Achievements here:
- Helped migrate our service to a Docker Container then to a Kubernetes Cluster
- Created an extension for InRule that allowed you to export tables
- Gave monthly presentations of the current business status to over 200 peers
- Made constant C#/.NET changes to our Test Suite
- Reviewed and approved a countless number of Pull Requests
