Hi, my name is

AJ A.

An aspiring software engineer. I am passionate about building things that make our lives a little easier.

About Me

I am a third year Computer Science Co-op student at Brock University in St. Catharines, ON, with a passion for full stack development, cloud, and networking.

I am currently working as a Technical Systems Analyst Co-op within CIBC’s Managed Desktop Contact Centre Non-Production team.

Here are a few technologies I've been working with recently:
  • C# - .NET
  • Python
  • Active Directory
  • MS Config Mgr
  • Java
  • Github Enterprise

Experience

Technical Systems Analyst Co-op - CIBC
Sep 2023 - Present
Recognizing a potential to optimize my team’s workflow, I developed a .NET WinForms app using the Microsoft Playwright library to automate the configuration of OS Image builds. Our team had no central repository to store the tools we use, leading to me spearheading the adoption and migration of our tools to CIBC’s Enterprise Github.
Sales Associate - The Source
Jul 2021 - Apr 2023
By providing a high level of customer service through my extensive knowledge of Consumer Electronics, as well as BCE Mobility and Residential services, I was able to deliver an excellent customer experience. I consistently achieved and exceeded mobility, residential, and consumer electronics sales targets.
Lifeguard and Swim Instructor - Town of Milton
Feb 2017 - Jun 2021
