Programming Bootcamp Sept - Dec 2015

The Firehose Project

Became a capable software developer in this intensive 15-week program, able to break complex problems into more manageable problems. I gained experience with the following tools of the trade:

• Built basic CRUD Rails apps following standard Rails conventions (without using scaffolding), involving mailers, validations, image uploading on AWS S3, and nested RESTful routes.
• Implemented tests with Minitest’s Test::Unit syntax for unit and functional tests.
• Worked through traditional computer science algorithms and data structure challenges:
• Graph search (depth-first & breadth-first).
• Linked lists with basic Ruby classes.
• Stacks and queues in Ruby.
• Reversed linked lists (both with a recursive solution with mutation, and a solution that leverages stack-like properties of linked lists).
• Floyd’s algorithm (tortoise & hare) to detect cycles within a linked list.

Capstone Project Nov - Dec 2015

The Firehose Project

Built a Ruby on Rails chess web application, working on a remote team of 5 developers, that enforces the rules of chess, including preventing users moving into check and support for castling and en passant. View the GitHub repository and the app running in production on Heroku.

• Wrote the business logic for determining if the game is in the state of check and checkmate.
• Uncovered, tracked down, and resolved several bugs in both our Ruby and Javascript code, including an intermittent bug that prevented movement of some pieces. See Pull Request 1 and Pull Request 2 on GitHub.
• Followed test-driven development, Agile and SCRUM methodologies, and had frequent code reviews and pair programming sessions. Held accountable for my performance by Travis Johnson, a devops engineer at true[X], who led the team.
