Beyond programming, I support business analysts and project managers by estimating levels of effort, investigating issues, assessing feasibility, and occasionally conducting requirement analysis. In addition to ERP work, I'm trained in Oracle APEX, a low-code web application builder primarily used for reporting.

Jan 2023 - Aug 2023

As a student programmer I did my CO-OP through RRCPolytech as a full time developer working on StandardAero's global production ERP. My main duties were to fix bugs, minor enhancements, and to rewrite legacy VB6 applications into VB.Net. This was a foundational learning experience for me as it was my first introduction to software development outside of my college education and I learned so much. From the dialogue and workflow between business analysts, programmers, and database administrators, to honing my programming and technical skill sets.

Key Achievements:

  • Fixed bugs and implemented minor enhancements to production ERP
  • Rewrote legacy VB6 applications to VB.NET
  • Learned enterprise development workflow and best practices
