VICTORIA UNIVERSITY OF WELLINGTON • RESEARCH ASSISTANT • NOV 2022 – PRESENT
In this role I have created automated tests to see the relative response time of various actions on a website. I wrote these tests using Selenium through a maven dependency for Java and the Selenium IDE. One thing I have achieved in this role is developing a Selenium testing framework for browser tests. This role required me to do my own research to solve issues in a timely manner to meet deadlines.

VICTORIA UNIVERSITY OF WELLINGTON • TUTOR • MAR 2022 – PRESENT
In this position, I tutored a wide range of courses over three years that included a networking course (NWEN241), a clouds and networking course (NWEN243), a secure programming course (CYBR271), a system and network security course (CYBR371), and a scalable software development course (SWEN301). These roles require me to use my Critical Thinking skills to help students with their assignments and show off my Self-Development skills through researching ways to better help students.

PAK'NSAVE WHANGANUI • GROCERY AND TROLLY ASSISTANT • NOV 2021 – NOV 2022
At Pak'nSave Whanganui it was important for me to be Punctual to this job to ensure there was always trollies available to the customers. This job also required me to constantly Adapt to my environment because I had to be aware of the condition of the weather. If it was raining, I would have to be extra careful when driving the tractor loaded full of trollies.

WHANGANUI DISTRICT LIBRARY • VOLUNTEER LIBRARIAN • 2017 – 2019
This is a Volunteer Position that required me to be Respectful to the public in the library. I would do this volunteering position once a week after school finished during High School which shows that I am Punctual. This position helped progress my Duke of Edinburgh Award and SVA (Student Volunteer Army) award.

VICTORIA UNIVERSITY OF WELLINGTON • SOFTWARE ENGINEERING • FEB 2020 – NOV 2023
I am studying towards a software engineering degree with honours at Victoria University of Wellington. I am currently sitting at a GPA of B+ as of my third year. Two courses I did well in were (CYBR371) System and Network Security and (SWEN301) Scalable Software Development. I believe I did well in these courses because I enjoyed learning the content in them and have a genuine interest in Web Development and System Security.

WHANGANUI HIGHSCHOOL • NCEA LEVEL 3 • FEB 2015 - NOV 2019
Over my five years at high school, I achieved many academic accomplishments such as getting my high school diploma endorsed with Merit, A Distinction award in probability and statistics and a merit award in physics and geometry and calculus in year 13.

WHANGANUI HIGHSCHOOL • DUKE OF EDINBURGH AWARD • FEB 2016 – DEC 2019
To get this award I had to do a certain number of months of Physical Recreation, Learning new skills, and Volunteering Service. I also had to go on Adventurous Journey's where I did a range of things such as Tramping, Camping and Kayaking. I am currently on the Gold Level.

HONOURS/PERSONAL PROJECT • VICTORIA UNIVERSITY OF WELLINGTON • 2023
I am currently working on this project for honours and personally in my spare time. This project aims to implement a software solution that provides more transparency on how your data is used and where data is coming from. I am doing this by adding extra JavaScript code to webpages to display the history and origin of incoming data. This project has required me to use my self-development skills to efficiently research different ways I could solve the aim of this project. Adaptability is another skill this project has required as when I experience an issue, I must quickly find a way to solve it. A React framework plugin prototype of this project can be seen on my npm profile called ajax-instrumentation with a deeper explanation at https://www.npmjs.com/~jayengulab.

SELENIUM TEST AUTOMATION • VICTORIA UNIVERSITY OF WELLINGTON • 2022-2023
In this Research Assistant role, I have created automated tests to see the relative response time of various actions on a website using the OpenMRS framework. OpenMRS is national electronic medical record system piece of software, which is also open source. I wrote these tests using Selenium through a maven dependency for Java and the Selenium IDE. Some relevant skills I used for this project were Project Management and Critical Thinking to fix problems in an adequate amount of time.
