Backend Engineer Intern at Paramount Students
January 22, 2022 - June 16, 2026
• Implemented and maintained REST API endpoints supporting core platform flows such as student profiles, course/program browsing, and application submissions. • Worked with the team to model and query relational data in MySQL, improving API reliability and data consistency. • Assisted with backend validation, error handling, and API documentation to support frontend integration and reduce integration friction. • Wrote and maintained tests (unit/integration where applicable) using Jest; supported QA checks and regression testing workflows. • Collaborated in an agile workflow: picked tasks from Jira, participated in code reviews, and shipped incremental improvements via GitHub pull requests.
