  • Software Engineer Intern at IDEAL INDUSTRIES, INC
    May 2019 - Aug 2019 · 4 mos

    Intern within the Technology Group at IDEAL. Over the course of the summer, I gained experience in web design (HTML, CSS), working with databases (specifically InfluxDB), Python, embedded C, and Angular. The first project I took on was to develop a beta version of a web app for IDEAL's PowerPuck System, to view usage statistics. This was largely an individual effort - I worked on the entire pipeline including: • Embedded C to extract and send information to the database. • Configured a Raspberry Pi to be able to host the web app. • Wrote the web app using Python libraries, HTML, and CSS. Additionally, I worked on bug fixes and new features for IDEAL's Audacy wireless lighting controls software. In contrast to my individual web app assignment, I collaborated with other members of the software team using Jira and GitLab/Bitbucket. For these tasks, I mainly used embedded C and Python, and I also gained familiarity with Go, JavaScript, and Angular. Apart from my assignments in the software engineering team, I also worked with the other Technology group interns throughout the summer to develop a prototype for a new addition to the PowerPuck System. Along with developing a working prototype, we also discussed financials, competitors, and future steps if the prototype is to be developed further.
