Laura Malovich

Software Engineer

In a nutshell

My name is Laura and I really enjoy building software.

I graduated with my Master's degree in Computer Science in the Fall of 2020. Before I started my Master's I worked in roles from Business Analyst to Quality Assurance Analyst and beyond. While working those jobs I discovered a passion for software engineering, so I decided to pursue it!

I'm currently advancing my skills through a fellowship program and volunteering as a Software Engineer at a start-up company.

My goal is to help develop products that can make a difference in people's lives. Currently I'm looking to join a great team that can utilize my skillsets to ship great products!

Here are a few technologies I've been working with recently:

Python
Javascript
SQL
React
Node.js
Express
HTML,CSS/SCSS
Jest
Unittest

Sample Projects

This is a sample of a website I worked for a friend. A car, taxi, and chauffeur reservation services website. Users can create an account that stores their order history, choose their service, choose a date and time, and get an estimated bill. This was a first draft to finalize the requirements.
