## Work Experience
### Software Engineer @ DSPTCH
Jan 2023 – Present

### Software Engineer @ RNWBL
Jan 2023 – Present

### Software Engineer @ RNWBL
Jan 2022 – Jan 2023

### Software Engineer @ WEX
Jan 2021 – Jan 2022 | Remote

### Research Assistant, Computational Chemistry @ Kenyon College
Jan 2019 – Jan 2020 | Gambier, Ohio
Investigated novel computational research into light-activated biomolecular systems with Visiting Professor Dr. John Payton Ph.D. During this research, I used quantum chemistry software packages like Avogadro, Gaussian, and OpenMolcas, and wrote Python scripts to organize my virtual working environment and rapidly submit calculations to the cloud.

### Research Assistant, Computational Chemistry @ The Ohio State University
Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Columbus, Ohio
In a previous study, it was demonstrated that the scoring of structures generated from protein–protein docking could be improved with the inclusion of SID data; however, this work relied on knowledge of the correct tertiary structure and only built full complexes for a few cases. Here, we performed docking using input structures that require less prior knowledge, using homology models, unbound crystal structures, and bound+perturbed crystal structures. This lead to more accurately predicted tertiary structures and a paper published in Analytical Chemistry on May 17th.

### Research Assistant, Biochemistry @ The Ohio State University
Jan 2018 – Jan 2018 | Columbus, Ohio Area
I worked with Dr. Dehua Pei as his lab explores their discovery of efficient cell-penetrating peptides (CPP). My job is to synthesize a “scaffold” molecule which will allow Pei's Lab to conjugate an efficient CPP to a drug molecule and measure its therapeutic effects.

### Program Director @ Alice Noble Ice Arena
Jan 2016 – Jan 2017 | Wooster, Ohio
Fundamental responsibilities included maintaining the safety of over 30 clients (children ages 5 through 11). Additionally, managed work hours and event planning for program staff (size of 10), maintained correspondence with both customers and local businesses, and electronically managed billing invoices.
