# Aileen Tran > Software Engineer II Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/aileentran I was previously a health psychology researcher at UCSF and UC Berkeley. I remained interested in health care and decided to complete pre-requisites for Physical Therapy school. I was accepted into the UCSF/SFSU DPT program. However, after receiving the financial aid package and making several dynamic spreadsheets, I decided to pivot to software engineering instead. I look forward to creating tools to support others in their daily lives and well-being in languages such as Python, Javascript, HTML, and others. When I am not programming, I enjoy yoga, (a large variety of) martial arts, tea/tea culture, long conversations, and snuggling my two dogs. ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer II @ Green Line Digital Jan 2021 – Jan 2024 | New York, New York, United States (Remote) • Managed and maintained two major engineering projects involving backend development • Built out and maintained a Selenium testing suite for QA of Google Analytics • Worked with Python and Pandas to clean data from third-party integrations and organized data in AWS S3 • Integrated Google Ads and Facebook Ads API to create customized ads as additional features to the a full-stack project • Improved stability by ensuring automated backups of critical components • Enhanced stability of the product through audits and data migrations for three projects while mitigating costs • Improved visibility and communication between Engineering and other stakeholders within the company as well as clients Stack: Python, Pandas, Flask, Linux, AWS S3, Selenium, Google Ads API, Facebook Marketing API ### Student @ Hackbright Academy Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | San Francisco I built out my capstone project based on the tools I learned at Hackbright. Roam | alwaysroamin.com | github.com/aileentran/roam | All roads lead to Rome. A full-stack Flask web application for commuters that allows for accurate commute time predictions. Features include: adding multiple stops, customizing each stop's mode of transportation, map visuals, directions text. • Users can register and login safely due to password hashing via werkzeug.security • Save routes to PostgreSQL database with longitude and latitude coordinates retrieved from Places API • Compare travel time of all saved routes by passing stop addresses and mode of transportation to Distance Matrix API • Parsed JSON string returned from Distance Matrix API to convert live traffic time values to days, hours, and minutes • After choosing a route, there are 2 AJAX calls: (1) information passed to Maps API to draw complete path on -map and generate directions text, (2) generate customized markers with labels at stops in numerical order Stack: PostgreSQL, Python, Flask, SQLAlchemy, Javascript, AJAX, jQuery, HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, Google Maps API, AWS Lightsail ### Documentation Specialist @ Augmedix Jan 2016 – Jan 2017 | San Francisco Bay Area • Formulated
