    • Hi, I'm Jenna

    Welcome to My Portfolio

    Junior Software Engineer

    My Resume

    Projects

    Lunar Lander Simulator

    A simulator designed to represent the landing of the Apollo 11 using real-world physics. This was the first project I designed and built myself in C++ while sticking to the best practices of encapsulated software design.

    • C++
    • Object Oriented

    Artillery Simulator

    An accurate artillery simulator for the M777 Howitzer. This was my first experience with the test-driven development process. Creating the requirements, writing the unit tests, and then writing the code to pass the tests was extremely helpful for finding and fixing bugs.

    • C++
    • Object Oriented
    • Test Driven

    Rewards App

    A mobile application for small businesses and their consumers that facilitates a digital loyalty program. This was the first full mobile app I ever built from start to finish. I learned so much about full-stack development and React Native.

    • React Native
    • Node
    • UI/UX Design

    Data Structures

    An in-depth study of data structures by implementing each one with the same efficiency as the C++ Standard Template Library. Completing this project gave me a much deeper understanding of pointers, allocators, and Spies.

    • C++
    • Test Driven

    About Me

    • Objective

      I am currently looking for a full-time internship or entry-level position as a software engineer or developer.

      Given this opportunity, I hope for plenty of new challenges and growth as I gain experience in the real world.

      I would also like to find a mentor who can teach me and help me improve myself as a software engineer.

    • Work Style

      While I thrive in an independent work environment, I also wholeheartedly believe in the benefits of team collaboration. I have lots of experience working as a team member and a team leader and am great at professional communication.

      I am always punctual and organized. I consistently produce work that is quality and on-time (preferably early) and strive to create work that I am proud of.

    • Personal Life

      This summer, my husband and I plan to move to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, for the forseeable future. There, I hope to do lots of hiking and spending time on the lake.

      My other hobbies include reading, painting, and fitness. I also have a passion for composing and performing music.
