currently in training and my role in this company so far has been
debugging the android application. Once finished with training, I

While I'm still no expert at android development, I attempt to do
my responsibilities to the best of my ability, because I truly
want to see this company succeed.

more. I really owe a ton to this company because they helped me
develop into the person I am.
Retail Store Manager
Overstock Center
May 2014 - Jun 2015
The Overstock Center is a retail store my family opened in May of
2014. I managed associates and trained them on key sales tactics.
I met weekly sales goals and implemented new processes such as a
customer rewards program that I coded using Java. Because this is
a family-owned business, it was humbling to see my parents and
relatives work tirelessly. This has inspired me to become the best
software developer that I can be so that I can use those skills to
help with the establishment.
JAWS Basketball Coach

At South End Racquet and Health Club, I coached kids ranging from
the ages of 5 - 12. I conducted practices and taught them how to
play basketball. Basketball and mentoring is two things that I
really enjoy. Having a positive impact on these kids and serving
as a role model was truly an experience that I will always
cherish. I was able to build lasting relationships with the kids
and also the parents.
