Full Stack Engineer

I had the amazing opportunity of interning at Quadrant 2. The sheer amount of breathtaking tech and knowledge I gained in such a short period of time still seriously shocks me when I think about it. A quick rundown of some of the work I have done during this short period: developing the Jotto Web App, a browser port for Jotto, development and implementation of AWS lambda functions that update data points within our database in real time, and an app that I built from the ground up : the revamp of I’m Getting Arrested in NS8. The environment was genuinely amazing and the staff are some of the best people I have met.
