Skills & Abilities
· Proficient in MS Office 2016, Windows, and MacOS
· Proficient in Python and Java
· Experienced in Git, and C coding languages
· Learning SQL and PHP coding languages

Technical Projects
· Coded the game “Brick Break” implementation in C and make it loadable to a MSP430 microcontroller
with an RGB screen through the Linux operating system. Although teamwork was optional, it helped to
overcome some difficulties with it. Some main problems that held the project back was the collision
rules that had to be applied to certain shapes. An example is that the ball had to bounce against walls
and the paddle in the angle that it came in through. With the help of a small team and an instructional
assistant, the game was finally playable. The end result was a functional video game with collision rules,
attractive graphics, and interactive buttons.
