Wrote and edited OpenAPI 2.0 & 3.0 specs. Wrote a Java program built and compiled with Maven that consumed the Apigee management API and executed a set of checks on all of our API proxies to check that they all follow a basic structure. Documented aboth projects in Confluence for future reference. Presented midterm and final presentation to IT development team. Gained experience in: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, OpenAPI, Java, Bitbucket, Jira, Confluence, Maven, Apigee, Apigee management API, JUnit, Git, Bash, TDD, and Agile development. ### Backend Software Engineering Intern @ Orbee Auto Jan 2018 – Jan 2019 | Irvine, CA Developed a notification engine micro-service in Java SpringBoot for Orbee's platform with various different data-triggered email notifications that we could send to Orbee's clients for their account and shopper updates. Created test templates using Handlebars.js to test notification service. Wrote JavaScript scripts for managing Orbee's client's google ads. Wrote scripts in Ruby to parse through csv files of data and ping one of Orbee's api endpoints. Supported and further developed several other of Orbee's existing micro-services primarily those who depend on use of DTO pattern. Dockerized several in development microservices. Wrote PostgreSQL queries to retrieve numerous data regarding our clients, Orbee clients' shoppers, etc. in order to support and improve Orbee's micro-services or for account managers use. Gained experience in Git, Bash, SQL querying, Jira, Confluence, Ruby, Springboot, AWS (SQS, S3, EC2), scripting and developing micro-services that are scalable and follow Clean Architecture. ### Engineering Essentials - Participant @ Goldman Sachs Jan 2017 – Jan 2017 | Greater New York City Area Worked in a groups of 3 to create mock up version of a web application that visualizes and analyzes sample stock using HTML, CCS, JS and React. ### Engineering Intern @ Herostreams Inc. Jan 2016 – Jan 2016 | Union City, CA Wrote test cases in Kotlin for various features in their code. Documented existing code. Continued the development of a website that holds and explains the documentation for the startup's current code.

Languages taught: - Scratch - Python - CSS - Html - Javascript - C++ ### Scholar Participant @ UC Irvine OAI Scholars Network - Summer program Jan 2015 – Jan 2015 | Irvine, CA 2 week intensive linux/raspberry pi program for incoming engineers and computer science majors. By the end of the program scholars in teams of 3 came up with a final product. My team and I used a raspberry pi to power a ball valve that we 3D printed. We coded the raspberry pi using python that allowed for us to close and open the ball valve by sending an email of "on" or "off". We also added in moisture sensors that allowed for for the ball valve to close if the moisture in the soil surpassed a certain value. The problem we envisioned in solving was that of farmers having to drive all the way back to the ranch to fix a pipe if it breaks. We wanted to make an easier alternate in order to save water and to save the farmer's time. Skills gained: - Circuitry - API Usage - Refreshed python skills - 3D printing & design - Laser cutting ### BEAM Intern @ Lawrence Hall of Science, UC Berkeley Jan 2015 – Jan 2015 I worked with UC Berkeley undergrads to help bring STEM ideas and projects to 30 elementary kids though the use of Arduino and Robots. ### Summer Immersion program - coder @ Girls Who Code Jan 2014 – Jan 2014 | Intuit HQ 7 weeks learning the basics of computer science/programming languages - Scratch - Python - HTML and CSS - Java Final project: In groups of three we were to create a final project in the last two weeks of the program. My team and I decided to use an Arduino to create a paper piano of 5 keys. We coded the Arduino using Processing Js. Along with this, we added an LED light strip that changed to a certain color based on the note pressed. Lastly, we included 4 different visualizations that appeared on a laptop screen when different notes were pressed. Depending on the note a different shape or pattern would appear. The color of the visualization corresponded to the color lighting up on the LED strip. Our goal for our final project was to make more accessible to children with learning differences specifically deaf children. We aimed to help them enjoy music in a more visual way. ## Education ### Computer Science and Engineering in Computer Science UC Irvine ### Moreau Catholic Highschool ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/mvasquez-aleman --- Source: https://flows.cv/michellevasquez JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/michellevasquez/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-11
