Work Experience

AdaptiveApps (now Cloudistics)

I worked at AdaptiveApps (now Cloudistics) in Reston, VA during the summer of 2014. During my time working there I learned a lot about the type of enviornment a start-up is like and I learned CSS, HTML, Python and Javascript during my time working there. Lastly, I worked on a project involving an HWC (Hypervisor Web Console) to view and manage statistics about virtual machines located on a computer. I utilized the libvirt-python library and HTML and CSS to create a working webpage that I presented to my manager.

Sonim Technologies

I also worked at Sonim Technologies in San Mateo (Silicon Valley), California in the summer of 2015. During my time there, I managed the company's social media platforms, specifically their YouTube channel. The work included uploading several videos, many of which I edited myself as well as presenting the content in the company's best interest. I also talked to many of the content producers for the company to learn the best way to present the material. In addition, I also helped to photograph pictures of their devices for use on other social media networks such as their Twitter and Facebook pages. I was the only high school employee amongst many college graduates in the office.

Pinxter Digital

I worked at Pinxter Digital in Alexandria, VA helping to develop a game called Gold Ambush with Kevin Hart. I developed many of the in-game FAQs and I communicated with hundreds of players about their experience during the game's beta testing period using the HelpShift framework. I also worked on a Wiki for the game and I collaborated with other interns to make YouTube video tutorials for new players. I was also able to provide my own feedback on the game after hundreds of hours of testing. I learned about the video game development process, Russian people and culture, how to effectively collaborate with coworkers to create useful tutorials and how to communicate bugs and suggestions to the game developers based on user feedback. I was the youngest of two interns in the office as well.

Community Service

---

During my free time, I like to contribute to the community as much as possible. Most of my community service hours are spent at the Computer Program at the Share of McLean foundation in McLean, Virginia. The Computer Program at Share is responsible for refurbishing donated computers to distribute to people in need. We are able to provide recipients with computers who often are in need of a job so they can help themselves in the future. I started volunteering for the program in May after a rigorous interview process and am one of the four volunteers. I have dedicated 40+ hours to the program and really enjoy giving back to the community!

YouTube Channel

---

I run a successful and independent YouTube channel called "technolockr". On the channel I educate people about how to use mobile devices in the best way and show off several electronic products that are popular and useful. I started the channel in January of 2012 at the age of 14 and have gained a respectable following large enough that I was able to receive a check from Google I made from the advertising on my channel.
