About
Achievements
Recently I built several applications using the Ruby and JavaScript. One requires an understanding of full-stack technologies, from architecting Active Record database design to handle multiple users, to planning the RESTful routes in Sinatra and leveraging Materialize, CSS3, and HTML5 to enhance the UI/UX of the application. The other required understanding the architecture of modular components in ReactJS on Meteor server as well as MongoDB for manipulating collections of data.
I am also proud of my career as an expert linguist at SAIC/LEIDOS, one of the top defense contractors in the country. I led a team of translators that provided mission-critical language services to US government customers at highest level. The team achieved the highest productivity and product quality in the division during the six years I led the team.
