About

I’m Stefan a Software Developer and recent graduate of the Computer Science program at SUNY New Paltz.

Most recently I was an Intern at Cornerstone Services Inc. where I built a workflow management program to be used in a mailing warehouse. After completion me and the 2 other developers presented our project at the SUNY New Paltz Computer Science Senior Expo where we won first place out of 15 other projects.

Before Cornerstone I worked at SUNY Ulster as a Helpdesk Technician where I learned about the challenges and benefits of working in a client facing position.

Currently I am looking for a junior developer position in NYC.

Experience

Full Stack Software Development Intern
Internship at local direct mailing company. Me and two other interns were tasked with creating a python application to be used by managers and warehouse employees. The software functions as a task management program that allows the admin to track length of tasks and give employees easier access to what they need to work on. Program was built using Python, MySQL, and Kivy. Final project won first place at SUNY New Paltz Computer Science Senior Expo

Helpdesk Technician
Helpdesk position at local college. This role was a formal introduction to IT work and the different problems technicians have to deal with. My job was to take calls from faculty and students, then address their concerns or push it down the line of command if i wasn't sure of a solution. I gained a strong grasp of working with others to resolve issues and communicating with staff that did not understand the complexity of a problem.
