Software Engineer - Summer Intern

From May 2022 to August 2022 at Major League Fishing Angler Association, Guntersville, AL

During my internship with the Major League Fishing Anglers Association from May 2022 to Aug 2022, I honed my skills in software development and technology. I developed a Python program using Selenium to efficiently pull and save Instagram statistics of all MLF anglers. Additionally, I leveraged matplotlib to create a model that visualizes and tracks angler Instagram growth over time. Alongside these tasks, I designed and implemented a landing page from scratch, utilizing HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to seamlessly collect user emails and phone numbers. To enhance communication, I crafted email and SMS tools in Python, integrating Smtplib and Twilio API, respectively, to efficiently send out mass emails and reach a large volume of members. Moreover, I engineered an API using Postman to continuously poll the MLF website for live score updates of active tournaments.
