Software Engineer Intern

September 2024 - present

Right now I'm developing software at SPS Commerce as a contractor through Maverick Software Consulting. I've gotten the opportunity to help maintain existing and write new data transformation services to be utilized on a custom in-house platform, and eventually integrated into our customers' ERP systems. Responsibilities include developing new EDI maps and re-factoring or fixing defects for existing ones, using Java and occasionally scripts written in Python.
