At Mathworks I worked with the MATLAB Online team, designing and developing an internal dashboard to display their performance metrics. In my apparently now annual tradition of learning a language on the fly, I learned Javascript and used it to write the dashboard, with an emphasis on documentation and scalability.

I worked as a user experience design consultant at Duro. I designed and tested new features and conducted extensive user interviews and research. I also did graphic design work, creating iconography and graphics to ensure a cohesive, professional look to the product.

In my second summer at Onshape, I worked as a software engineering intern, implementing new features and fixing bugs. I worked primarily with Java, as well as HTML, CSS, and Typescript. I submitted and contributed to code reviews, and learned a lot about code optimization, systematic debugging, and working with Git in a professional environment.

Onshape is a cloud-based CAD platform revolutionizing the way engineers do CAD.

At Onshape I worked as a User Experience intern. I worked on improvement requests, analyzing each relevant support ticket to determine the best way to solve a problem and the most common use cases for that feature. I would then use Figma to create mockups, and test them out, both internally on other Onshape employees or interns, and externally on real Onshape users. Based on the test results, I would modify the mockups until I found the best solution. Several of the changes I worked on are currently either in the Onshape product or in development to go out in future releases.

At this internship I gained an extensive knowledge of Figma, as well as learned how to conduct user interviews and handle them professionally even when they didn't go smoothly. I also learned about what is really important when designing user experience.
