About Me
I am Dora Do, a young female junior engineer who is starting to break into the high tech world. I will be graduating in May 2015 with a degree in Computer Science. I have held two internship positions in high tech companies for at least two years each. I am looking to make use of my skills, knowledge, and experience from my education and past employments and to grow and contribute as a software engineer in the Silicon Valley.
Work Experience
For the last two summers, I have interned at B & C Transit. There, I helped to create software using Vital Boolean Logic to control railway lights, traffic, and crossings. I maintained deployment of software, for instance, when software is sent to be tested and there are problems, then it will be sent back and I will make changes to the software. I ran tests on newly built software to assure that safety procedures were followed. I also documented software and design layout changes.
For the last few summers, I also interned at Strongvon where
I aided in creating customer websites and the membership website using HTML,
CSS, and Javascript. More recently, I began writing JUnit tests to test the
server business logic using Selenium. For example, after a user selects inputs
on a registration form, such as adding clothing or coupon codes on top of
registration fees, I would write JUnit tests to assure that the shopping cart
total will update correctly.
Skills and Tools
The programming language I am most experienced with is Java. In addition, I am also familiar with C, HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, and SQL. I am experienced with IDE’s such as Eclipse and Netbeans. I am confident in using Microsoft Office and Adobe Creative Suite programs. I also use both Windows and Linux operating systems.
Education
Currently, I am a student at San Jose State University and I
am finishing up my degree in Computer Science. My expected graduation date will
be in May 2015.
A project I have done in a group assignment is a Mancala game. This project is a version of the Mancala game with a graphical interface. We used objected-oriented design patterns, such as the MVC pattern, the Strategy pattern, and others, to create the program. I implemented the Strategy pattern to allow the game to have multiple graphic themes. Our game ran successfully without errors.

Goals
My goal for the next year is to graduate from my university with a 3.5 GPA and to settle into a position in a technological company in the Silicon Valley as a junior software engineer. From there, my goal for the next five years is to gain experience in the technology industry and strengthen my programming and team work skills.
