# Liz Tremblay > Software Engineer at 84.51˚ Location: New York, New York, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/liztremblay Software engineer @ 84.51 looking to grow as a frontend engineer and ux designer. ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ 84.51˚ Jan 2023 – Present | New York, New York, United States I work full-time on our design system team, Meridian. Most days I repair bug fixes and implement enhancements to our components usually as requests from customers in Media. More fun work that I've led has included added accessibility checks to our Playwright tests, adding draggable rows to our Table component, and co-developing a new View Toggle component. I've also noodled on a revised contribution process for external teams to work with us to add desired in whatever capacity they can collaborate with us and have mentored an interna and a co-op for a semester. When I'm not working to improve Meridian, I'm helping with early career recruitment or organizing a lunch or event for the NY office as the co-office manager. ### Student Worker @ University of Cincinnati - College of Engineering and Applied Science Jan 2023 – Jan 2023 | Cincinnati, Ohio, United States As a student worker, most of the tasks given to me were administrative. I would receive phone calls from parents or students, prepare materials for admissions events and presentations, give families tours of our facilities, maintain the website we used to coordinate student tour guide scheduling, and calculate credits awarded from high school transcripts. ### UX Engineer Co-op @ IBM Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | Chicago, Illinois, United States Working on IBM's UXE team that focuses on prototyping new components and patterns for the internal-facing side of the IBM design system Carbon ### Peer Teaching Assistant @ University of Cincinnati Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 | Cincinnati, Ohio, United States Engineering design thinking is the University of Cincinnati's general engineering course that all first years have to take before taking discipline specific courses. It focuses on teaching students foundational skills for engineering including project management, teamwork, leadership, problem solving, and basic physics concepts and coding skills. I tutor on average 20 first year engineering students weekly in Labview, Python, MATLAB, statistics, physics, electricity, and VBA. I also mentor underclassman engineering students in class with nontechnical modules for professional development like succeeding at the career fair and creating great resumes. I also directed a review session initiative for all engineering first years to receive pre-exam tutoring by PTA's. We were able to offer students both online and in person options for final exam review. ### Product & Design Co-op @ 84.51˚ Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 | Cincinnati, Ohio, United States As a P&D co-op, I was on the design system team Meridian. Our users were requesting a modal component, and it was a great way for me to touch all ends of the component life cycle. I led research for the new modal component with stakeholders such as developers and customer representatives using a fleshed out research guide, AB testing, and workflow observation. I designed and prototyped the modal component and user interview workflows in Figma and used the audit of existing modals for direction. I coded the modal component in Stencil.js with live examples and extensive guidelines to documentation site for user reference. During my time, I also worked on an intern team of 7 people including myself. We were tasked with renovating an existing Grafana dashboard that displays the application health. We needed to get the dashboard to intake more data sources and make a new system to show a comprehensive score that would represent the health of the applications. My job, however, was to represent the UI better with a new look and new experience. I did user interviews with software developers, site reliability engineers, management, and business development peoples to understand how BRIDGE (the dashboard's name) need to be changed. I designed a prototype in Figma to show stakeholders and interviewee's and even found a way to use our design system for the new dashboard by creating a custom Grafana plugin alongside a software engineering co-op. My background on Meridian and as a software engineering co-op previously made crafting the dashboard solution much easier. While on my intern team, I also acted as the project manager. I set up meetings with stakeholders, led ceremonies, scheduled retros and socials, and created tickets for our Jira board. ### Software Engineering Co-op @ 84.51˚ Jan 2020 – Jan 2020 | Cincinnati, Ohio, United States On my rotation, I worked on a team (DataGazers) that pushed data up to 84.51˚'s commercial platform Stratum that's used by CPG's. I was integrated as a part of the team participating in ceremonies and shadowed/pair coded with full-timers. I owned my own project that touched the DataGazer's process from end to end. The project was a source to intermediate QA process redesign as the code we had in production previously was a hastily put together Jupyter notebook. I identified that having a Jupyter notebook in production would be problematic for debug and management so I took on splitting out the parts of the notebook into numerous jobs. I started with a design document that had been started already by another member of the team. I reworked the design document a bit and finished it out with functions and descriptions. I wrote up the jobs in bash and PySpark and automated the jobs using a proprietary automation tool with integration testing to confirm they'll run ok in production. Overall, my project would take raw Kroger source transaction data, format it appropriately, and compare it to intermediate transaction data. The data would be tested against each other with thresholds to allow for some error, send emails if there were anomalies, and stop the workflow if they were major red flags. My work is now in production and is working great. The QA has already saved the company from publishing bad data to Stratum saving DataGazers hours and hours of extra work. The process is also quicker than the old Jupyter notebook so I optimized our overall process by nearly an hour. My experience on the DataGazers team was a wonderful learning experience though it offered a lot of difficulties for me to overcome. The virtual environment made it hard for me to acclimate to my team, but I taught myself how to advocate for my needs and push myself to be far more assertive. My abilities in Pyspark improved greatly and I advanced my basic skills in bash to an intermediate level. ### Software Engineering Co-op @ 84.51˚ Jan 2020 – Jan 2020 | Cincinnati, Ohio My role as a software engineering co-op taught me how to use Pyspark, understand SQL concepts, and operate within an agile team. I primarily worked on the baseline QA (SPC Checks - Statistical Process Control Checks) for the forecast my team was building. The forecast (Store PULSE) built predicted how busy Kroger stores may likely be on any given day. The results of Store PULSE ultimately feeds into other relevant forecasts. I built to the QA independently and orchestrated it myself with Airflow. I kept my progress tracked using Jira to ensure the team was aware of my standing with the QA. My time during my first co-op rotation allowed me to explore the realm of Big Data and data engineering as well as grow immensely as a professional. I worked hard to connect with everyone on my team and talk to other coworkers in different departments or teams to gain a greater understanding of my role and 84.51 as a business. Though I made numerous mistakes, I also made major successful strides that contributed to my overall success as an aspiring software engineer. ### Crew Member @ Dunkin Donuts Jan 2016 – Jan 2019 | Mokena, IL Crew members are responsible for serving customer, cleaning the store, and training new employees. I'd treat customers with the utmost respect to ensure the best experience possible. I upheld the greatest safety and sanitation standards by performing all proper protocol to sanitize the store, and I prepared new employees for the fast-pace, collaborative environment of Dunkin Donuts. ## Education ### Bachelor of Science - BS in Computer Science University of Cincinnati - College of Engineering and Applied Science Jan 2018 – Jan 2023 ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/liz-tremblay5039 - Website: https://www.liz-tremblay.site --- Source: https://flows.cv/liztremblay JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/liztremblay/resume.json Last updated: 2026-03-23
