My name is Nicholas Hubbard. I'm a Software Engineering graduate, currently employed by Walmart Global Tech in Bentonville, AR.
Worked in Walmart Global Tech position using Machine Learning to solve up-and-coming problems with expanding businesses.
As a software engineer at Rocket Mortgage, I successfully scaffolded an end-user training system for internal tools used to process mortgage applications. I created a feature-complete server-side platform for managing training content and serving content to end users. This platform was completely unit, integration, and end-to-end tested, and made extensive use of C# ASP.NET Core and AWS services including DynamoDB, S3 and ECS/Fargate. The infrastructure for this application declared from top to bottom in Terraform. I completed this project with assistance from two fellow interns and two mentors from our greater team. Additionally, I contributed back several bug fixes and feature enhancements to other projects used by our project, including upgrading an entire catalogue of Terraform modules to the latest available version with minimal disruption to other project workflows.
As a Systems Engineering Intern at Quicken Loans, I migrated my team's entire documentation system off of Atlassian Confluence into a custom MkDocs/Markdown based platform hosted on our internal GitHub instance. I rewrote more than 60 pages of documentation to match our current systems and consulted with the fellow engineers on my team as part of this process. Additionally, I wrote multiple Python plugins for the MkDocs platform to match functionality that was previously provided by Confluence. These plugins were written to match modern coding practices, and had full documentation and 100% unit and integration test coverage. The project was completed in its entirety before the end of my internship, and additional functionality was added to the project scope, including deployment to an AWS CloudFront based hosting solution, which was fully automated by CircleCI and was defined by infrastructure as code in the form of Terraform modules. Several team members commended the final product, and I received a positive review from my team leader upon completion of the project.
