PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Senior Software Developer June 2016 – Present
Berkshire Hathaway (Warren Buffett), Omaha, NE
Description: Lead and work with an executive team of developers to develop, maintain, test, implement, and document the
company’s most important core insurance rating systems used by the company’s employees used to price, bind, issue, and take
payment for insurance, that is used by thousands of international employees and clients on a daily basis that has bound in my tenure
over $2,000,000,000 in premium.
• Served as lead developer role on an in-house SQL script generator application.
• Served as lead developer role on Get-A-Quote, our website application accessible by the public to mimic our flagship insurance
rating system.
• Served as lead developer role on an encoding application designed to secure sensitive customer data.
• Served as lead developer role on an application that uses Microsoft VISIO to create a flowchart layout of data in an SQL
database and generate scripts. Also, the application will take VISIO flowchart data and insert information.
Software Developer June 2015 – June 2016
Berkshire Hathaway (Warren Buffett), Omaha, NE
Description: Work with an executive team of developers to develop, maintain, test, implement, and document the company’s most
important core insurance rating systems used by the company’s employees used to price, bind, issue, and take payment for insurance,
that is used by thousands of international employees and clients on a daily basis that has bound in my tenure over $2,000,000,000 in
premium.
• Served as the lead developer in the development, testing, and implementation of full rate revisions in multiple states.
• Personally developed a database-driven mechanism to improve efficiency in the speed, accuracy, reliability, and maintenance of
the existing code, which is used by hundreds of other developers and agents every day.
Mathematical Modeler / Sponsored Research Fellow June 2014 – Present
National Science Foundation, Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ (Co-op Assignment)
Description: Led and worked with a team to develop a mathematical model to analyze the risk and efficiency of current medical
procedure and operations. Created computer codes in Excel, R, MATLAB, Maple, Mathematica, and tested with written
computerized simulations, analyzed large data sets from peer-reviewed journals in Excel and developed a written report and shared
findings.
• Received to-date over 15 invites with funding to present findings at international and national mathematics and applied math-
ematics conferences.
• Report pending publication in the international peer-reviewed, refereed, Journal of Mathematical Sciences.
• Received several awards and honors to-date for superior groundbreaking work by the National Science Foundation, NIM-
BioS and American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Student Teaching Assistant
Department of Mathematical Sciences, University of South Dakota, Vermillion, SD October 2012 – May 2015
Description: Led and worked with over 500 students preparing lessons in mathematics, applied mathematics, physics, chemistry,
and computer programming. Led night lecture sections exploring 21st century mathematical and computer data and aiding students
with their studies. Provided supplementary instruction for students, prepared reports for supervisors, and underwent continuous
training opportunities.
• Sections met student competency goal for the subject every semester.
• Students reported an average 10% grade boost under my supervision.
• Offered several opportunities to attend advanced lecturing training to further my leadership.
