Education

Milwaukee School of Engineering

Master of Science, Machine Learning

March 2023 — August 2024 | GPA: 4.00

While in the program I was a lab assistant in programming courses. My degree culiminated in a capstone report in which I focus on identifying students at risk of earning penalty grades and/or not returning to MSOE the following fall. Please consdier reading my capstone report on modeling student success: Modeling Student Success by Jacob Strasler.

Bachelor of Science, Software Engineering

September 2019 — May 2023 | GPA: 3.61

While at MSOE, I was a member and captain of the varsity cross country team, part of the University Honors Scholars Program, made the dean's list, and was a Northern Athletics Collegiate Conferance (NACC) Scholar Athlete.

During my time as an undergrad at MSOE, the school operated on a trimester-based system rather than the typical semester system. Because of this, I took a lot of courses and was exposed to a wide variety of computer science and software engineering topics. Some of the more notable experiences include:

Event Conflict Project

The Event Conflict project is a website that alerts professors when there will be students missing their classes for school-sponsored events. This project was developed in a team setting using Agile Scrum methodologies. My main role in the project was the design of the database and logic to determine when conflicts would occur along with front-end web design. Relevant technologies include Node.js, MongoDB (NoSQL), Vue.js, Linux hosting, and Docker containers.

TRT Speech Labs Project

The TRT Speech Labs project is a website that connects speech pathologists and their patients. Through this site, patients are able to be screened and do supplemental speech practice assigned to them by their speech pathologist. This project was developed in a team setting using Agile Scrum methodologies. My main role in the project was working on the API backend. Relevant technologies include Python and the FastAPI framework and Google's Firebase hosting service (including its Firestore database functionality).
