Co-op Experience

SOFTWARE DEVELOPER INTERN

Sep. 2020 - Dec. 2020

For my first co-op, I worked at Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), the largest mental health hospital in Canada. I worked entirely remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. There, I worked on developing an interactive web based application from scratch to better support the creation of health care plans in a health-specific data standard.
Worked with Python and Dash for the generation of interactive interfaces. The second version was made using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The application runs on a Node.js/Express.js server and it has a MongoDB database for care plan storage.
