About

Worked part-time over the course of a semester, acting as a system administrator and software developer for the ISSF (Information System on Small-scale Fisheries) app. Primarily ensured the app stayed online, and resolved a few small bugs as they arose.

Prior to that, I spent a Christmas break there working on a contract to improve the app. During that time I (among other things):

• Rewrote the site’s search functionality to be more reliable and to return more relevant results
• Discovered and resolved a number of security issues
• Cleaned and documented all backend code, to help future developers work on the app
• Added native PDF generation functionality to the app, so users could download PDF reports straight from the app
