Hiya, I’m Anne, a computer programmer in progress. I study Computer Science and the Communication of Science and Technology(CSET) at Vanderbilt University. The past summer(2022) I had the opportunity to work as a software engineering intern for Quartus Engineering, an engineering consulting company in San Diego. At Quartus I contributed to a broad range of both client-facing and internal projects. I quickly became familiar with the .NET framework and applied my new skills to Quartus’s internal framework, including a thread safe Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) test server fixture, a 20% more efficient data buffering system, and a .NET compatible Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) serial communications protocol. I also got to learn and write a Lua script that was then used to generate event logs for client hardware.
