Professional Experience

Dev Bootcamp - April 2013 - July 2013

Student and Teaching Assistant

Going through Dev Bootcamp was like being thrown into a furnace. It taught me how resilient I can be, but also how to not let the stress and anxiety of work interfere with working on a team. I learned that whether or not I readily know how to solve a challenge, I can figure out the best path towards a solution.

For a more detailed recount on specific skills and experiences, check me out on Github, LinkedIn, and my blog

Rise Up – Full Circle September 2012-May 2013

Challenge 1:

99 bottles of beer on the wall

Write a function bottle_song which takes as its input a positive integer n representing the number of starting bottles in the song. Pick a reasonable format and print out all the lines to the song.

Challenge 2: Roman Numerals

Write a method that converts an integer to its Roman numeral equivalent, i.e., 476 => 'CDLXXVI'.

Arabic ==> Roman 4 ==> IV
