Nordstrom Code Generation

Nordstrom

During the summer of 2021 I spent 10 weeks developing a Java code generation tool for Nordstrom engineers that improved productivity by 525%. I used Git, Agile, full-stack practices, Kubernetes, Java, Maven, Gradle, GitLab, and more. I interned again in the summer of 2022 where I built a React website and reduced deployment times.

During a hackathon, three teammates and I created a tool that overlays glasses and a mustache over any provided photo through a UI. We used Python for the backend and React for the front end.
