After working at IT Yall, I decided to pivot into a more advanced role and ended up working at my Alma Mater who was looking for someone with my level of curiosity.
My job requirements include:
- Designing, testing, and implementing solutions for server-side issues
- Writing complex SQL queries to modify test and production tables
- Ensuring the smooth running of back-end PHP web scripts, and fix bugs when they appear
- Managing user permissions via Linux commands such as chmod

IT Yall
Feb 2021 - October 2021
Upon graduating from LeTourneau University, I had the opportunity to work at IT Yall to get myself started in the industry. While my primary work was help-desk related, I built a C# application to automate our computer tune-up process that saved the company 15 minutes per end user.
Some of my accomplishments while working there include:
- Lead developer of their proprietary PC tune-up software
- Set up wired networks for end-user locations
- Wrote batch scripts to automate repeatable work such as the new computer onboarding process
After working at Brookshire’s, I moved on to work at the Home Depot in Paris Texas because it was closer to Paris Junior College, where I was attending business classes. After graduating at PJC in May 2017, I transferred to the location in Longview Texas so that I could financially support myself while attending LeTourneau University.
While here my responsibilities included:
- Recieving payments for transactions
- Lifting heavy objects into vehicles if no lot loader was available
- Meeting the credit card sale quota weekly
In 2013 I was a teenager looking for a job. I wasn’t attending college at the time, so any job within driving distance of home worked for me. I started at Brookshire’s in November 2013 during the Thanksgiving rush.
My job responsibilities included:
- Taking groceries to outside vehicles
- Cleaning messes and spills to prevent slips and falls
- Maintaining front end orderliness
After a few months of being a courtesy clerk, I got promoted to a Cashier.
