About Me
Hey! My name is Selwyn, and I am currently an undergraduate student at Northeastern University pursuing a Combined Major in Business Administration and Computer Science! My interests are in software development dating back to when I was a high school student trying to make a simple game based on my favorite show at the time. Since then, my love for coding has only increased! Aside from academics, I really enjoy listening to music, spending time with my family and friends, and exploring new cities!
I designed and automated the creation and development of Oracle ERP report jobs and ETL processes, significantly optimizing SQL database interactions by leveraging SQS, ECS, CRON jobs, multithreading, and a watcher, which resulted in a 60% reduction in processing time. Additionally, I contributed to a high-priority project focused on vendor compliance, utilizing Spring Boot and Next.js to deliver solutions that generated substantial cost savings for the company, though specific details are restricted due to an NDA. Working as part of a cross-functional team, I utilized the SCRUM framework and JIRA for project management, ensuring efficient collaboration and timely delivery of objectives.
I am currently working at Coverys as an Automation engineer. I have started to automate manual insurance work using C# and collaborate with a diverse team of developers, business analytics, insurance experts and other CO-OPs. In terms of my accomplishments so far, I have been able to create automation methods and test their effectiveness and their ability to consistently pass tests. Furthermore, I have been able to contribute to a high test passing rate of 88% and plan to increase that percentage to 100% by the end of the CO-OP. Through effective communication with my team, I have been able to quickly adapt and learn the necessary skills and implement them in my day to day work.
As a Teacher's Assistant for Object-Oriented Design at Northeastern University, I played a pivotal role in assisting the lead instructor with the creation and review of course materials to ensure alignment with course objectives. I hosted weekly office hours, clarifying intricate object-oriented concepts and guiding students through practical exercises. My responsibilities extended to offering one-on-one academic mentorship during office hours, collaborating with the instructional team on the design, administration, and grading of assignments and exams, and providing constructive feedback to refine the course. Furthermore, I served as a crucial communication link between students and the instructor, conveying concerns to both sides as the semester progressed.
During the two summers I worked at EduTek, I enrolled and managed computer hardware and technology including regular maintenance for laptops, smartboards, desktops, and creating new images for computers. I was very lucky to have worked with a team that taught me a great deal about data science as well. I also identified and fixed broken network switches using a network toner and learned basic SQL Commands. In addition to working with a team, I gather and analyze large sets of data involving quantitative and qualitative data about students and also learned bash commands.
Here Are Some Of My Projects!
Read-The-Room Web Application
Utilizing the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, Node.js), I developed 'Read-The-Room,' a sophisticated web application designed to foster enhanced teacher-student communication during lectures on Canvas. The application champions the use of web sockets to facilitate a real-time feed of questions directed to the teacher. These inquiries can be either anonymous or attributed, granting students the flexibility of choice. A robust security framework has been integrated into the system, complete with differentiated login and signup mechanisms for teachers and students. A standout feature of this application is the post-lecture analytical report presented to educators. It showcases a bar graph wherein the x-axis symbolizes the class duration, and the y-axis quantifies the volume of questions raised at any given moment. This visual representation not only provides insights into student engagement but also allows the teacher to click on specific segments to view and respond to the questions raised during that time frame.
Spotify API Web Application
This application utilizes the Spotify API to access data from Spotify. Given the user logs in, this application will return the last 50 played songs by the user. Furthermore, it allows the user to click a song and see the lyrics of that song using a lyrics API. This application uses express.js, axios, and react.js. With express, I was able to create a server that allowed me to fetch the refresh token every hour automating that task for a better user friendly environment. I am currently working on allowing the user to play their recently played music and add to their playlist! I plan to continue to work on this project in the long run.
Let's Get In Touch
Currently, I am looking for any opportunity to get some hands-on experience! Whether that is doing Front-End development or Back-End, I would love to be a part of your team!
