Carissa Barrett
I am a software engineer with experience building full stack web apps with the latest frameworks and tools. I have experience working in an Agile environment and an understanding of the software development process from initial project conception to a fully functioning web app.
Using MongoDB, Angular, Node and Express, my team and I developed a web app by gathering requirements, creating user stories, developing features all within an Agile environment. The final product was a web app for a tabletop gaming business that allowed its users to interactively view and reserve available tables for their tabletop game. Utilized Cypress for automated integration testing.
My team and I built a web app built to enable teachers to create, organize and share their weekly lesson plans. Using MongoDB, Express, Node and EJS, this app handled user authentication, session management as well as reading from and writing to a CloudAtlas Mongo database.
GPA: 3.8
When not building web apps, I love hiking, reading, traveling, cooking, and drinking coffee. I love anything sci-fi or fantasy and listening to true crime podcasts.
So far, I've been able to travel to New York, Boston, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and Florida. On one trip, I went skiing in New Mexico one afternoon and within 12 hours, I was hiking the Grand Canyon in Arizona! Post-pandemic, I'd love to travel to Europe!
