Recent Ohio State Graduate Entry-Level IT Candidate
I recently graduated Magna Cum Laude from The Ohio State University with a B.S. in Computer & Information Sciences and a minor in Mathematics.
I am looking for an entry-level technical role where I can find solutions to real problems, support users and systems, and continue building practical experience in IT; specifically in networking and security.
My greatest strengths include: ability to learn quickly, reliability, leadership qualities, and a bias for action. I have extensive expierence in programming, and cloud services.
Additionally, I have received a quality education regarding operating systems along with network and security concepts.
I understand that I do not possess the experience or skills for a senior position.
However, I am looking for the right first full-time technical role where I can contribute, learn the environment, and become a reliable and useful asset as swiftly as possible.
IT & Support Fit
Comfortable troubleshooting, documenting issues, learning systems, communicating clearly, and escalating when appropriate.
Cloud Foundation
Built projects with AWS S3, CloudFront, Lambda, Cognito, and IAM; certified as an AWS Cloud Practitioner.
Leadership Background
Led small teams in high-pressure environments and managed student employees in operational roles requiring safety and accountability.
Projects
Selected software and cloud projects demonstrating experience with API integration,
data processing, AWS infrastructure, automation, object-oriented programming,
and collaborative development.
Cloud Video Hosting Site
Built and deployed a static video-hosting website on AWS that allows users to upload
and view video files directly from the browser. Used Amazon S3 for object storage,
CloudFront for content delivery, Cognito for temporary client credentials, and IAM
permissions to control access to AWS resources. JavaScript dynamically retrieves and
displays uploaded videos from the S3 bucket.
Developed a personal running analytics dashboard that retrieves activity data from
the Strava REST API and processes it with Python and Pandas. Built a data pipeline
that converts raw activity information into structured JSON and CSV data containing
metrics such as distance, pace, heart rate, elevation gain, and date. A JavaScript
frontend uses the processed data to display weekly mileage, monthly trends, recent
runs, and progress toward running goals on an AWS-hosted static website.
Collaborated on a six-person team to build a C#/MonoGame recreation of a dungeon
from The Legend of Zelda. The game includes multiple rooms, enemies,
combat, items, projectiles, collision detection, a HUD, inventory, sound effects,
and room progression.
My primary contribution was gameplay and enemy systems. I developed enemy movement
and combat behaviors, including boss mechanics and projectile-based enemies, and
helped integrate health, collisions, enemy deaths, item drops, and room-completion
logic into the main game loop. I also contributed to map tracking, level
configuration, debugging, refactoring, and Git-based team development.

SMS Automation Tool
Built a Python automation program that collects information from web pages using
Beautiful Soup, processes the retrieved content, and automatically sends selected
information as SMS messages through an email-to-SMS gateway. The project combined
web scraping, data processing, message generation, and automated delivery into a
single workflow.
