My name is Elaine Alasagas and I am a software engineer based in Seattle, WA. I enjoy building tools in technology and creating art.
Before becoming an engineer, I wore many different hats. After graduating from the University of Washington, I worked as a para-educator/assistant teacher in special-needs at Kent School District. After moving to Seattle, I worked the front-desk at Amazon for about a year, and later advanced my career at Amazon as a Technical Recruiter. Shortly after joining Facebook, I was accepted to Oregon State University in their Computer Science program. As a recent graduate, I'm excited to learn and grow as an engineer and to work on fun and interesting products/projects!
My experience in coding languages both academically and self-taught ranges (in order of proficiency) from C++/C, JavaScript, Dart, and PHP, but have worked with Python, C# using Asp.Net Core MVC, and Java using Spring MVC. I am proficient in CRUD operations using RESTful architecture.
I've worked with a variety of tools, text-editors, and libraries. The frameworks I've worked with include ExpressJS, Flutter, Asp.Net, and SpringBoot. I've also worked with templating engines such as Handlebars, Thymeleaf, and RazorView.
Backend technologies I've used for database management systems are PostgreSQL, MySQL/MariaDB, Oracle, SQLite, and MongoDB. For web servers, I've worked with Apache, Tomcat, Node.js, and Mongoose. I've also used cloud compute platforms such as Heroku and Azure (for mobile, I've used Firebase as a BaaS).
