Software Engineering Team Lead: With a team of five, we were to design and implement (from scratch) a game for gifted 6th graders to learn Pre-Algebra skills. My duties included organizing the teams, meeting tough deadlines, delegating responsibility, internal & external communication, programming, and much more. The project was a great success and was used by the Young Scientists Program at Austin I.S.D.
