Computer Science Student | Semiconductor Test Operator | U.S. Army Veteran
I’m finishing my B.S. in Computer Science at UMGC while working full-time as a Test Operator in a semiconductor foundry. My background combines hands-on testing, troubleshooting, military systems experience, and academic software development.
I’m interested in systems engineering, test engineering, cloud support, IT support, and software-adjacent roles where reliability, documentation, and problem-solving matter.
I currently work at InnovaFlex Foundry as a Test Operator, where I test X-ray imaging panels, identify defects, follow controlled procedures, and escalate issues to engineering when needed.
Before this, I served in the U.S. Army as a PATRIOT system operator and maintainer, supporting mission-critical systems, maintaining equipment readiness, and leading teams in structured operational environments.
Most of my software and cloud experience comes from school, certificates, and personal projects. I’ve worked with Java, Python, SQL, JavaFX, Git/GitHub, AWS fundamentals, Linux, and system-level concepts.
- Java
- Python
- SQL
- C basics
- JavaFX
- Git/GitHub
- AWS fundamentals: EC2, S3, IAM, VPC, CloudWatch
- Linux, macOS, Windows
- Command line basics: zsh/bash
- Maven, Gradle
- IntelliJ IDEA
- Troubleshooting
- Quality assurance
- Semiconductor process and fabrication
- Test validation
- Technical documentation
- Process adherence
Java-based document processing application that extracts and ranks keywords using TF-IDF. Includes a JavaFX GUI, batch processing, export functionality, and defensive handling for malformed or empty inputs.
JavaFX desktop application that simulates an AI assistant interface using event-driven design, modular logic, and Lucene-based offline search.
Interactive JavaFX binary search tree visualizer with insert/delete, traversals, search highlighting, zoom/pan, and PNG export.
JavaFX compiler-style application that parses a scene layout language and renders the visual result.
I’m building stronger foundations in systems, testing, cloud infrastructure, and Java-based development while preparing for entry-level technical roles.
