Transitioned to a full-time employee. Continued forecasting duties as necessary (forecasts, answering phones), otherwise focused on IT. Started our migration to the cloud by migrating our webserver from GoDaddy to AWS EC2 directly. Once completed, moved our database from the EC2 instance to AWS RDS. After COVID hit, and network impacts of using remote desktop software, migrated our desktops to AWS Workspaces, while keeping the remote desktop software for backup use and IT administation. Implemented AWS SES within our Snowfall Report Website. Currently looking at ways to move a lot of our EC2 webserver to event driven serverless and API.

Assisted in creating forecasts for clients and gathering weather data for clients. Forecasts averaged a Root Mean Squared Error of 4.428. Assisted in creating new Excel Workbooks with Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). Created and maintained databases for storing information and web interfaces to manipulate and view the data. Wrote Python scripts to make workload more dynamic. Mostly all on-prem IT work.

One of four interns assisting in calling clients to verify they got our warnings (short term forecasts - 3-4+ hour long) as dictated by client contracts. Sent out updates to clients about current weather and short term (1-3 hours) forecasts.

One of two student volunteer developers for the "NEXLAB Model Viewer" app on iPhones. Worked with College of DuPage IT staff for developer accounts and worked with the Meteorology Program's (NEXLAB) web developer for custom API calls for the app to use.

Researched meteorology for emails sent out to customers. Created a python program to automatically plot climate data for states and regions of the United States which reduced labor time by at least 40%.

This bootcamp was a hands-on experience building a static website using S3 and CloudFront using Terraform. In addition to learning how the workflow of Terraform, It was also required to code a custom provider to interact with a third party API created just for this bootcamp. GitHub and workflows were learned as well.

This is one section of many from Digital Cloud Training's Cloud Mastery Bootcamp. This section was live from June 3 to July 12, but due to work and personal reasons, it took me through November to complete this section.

This section of the bootcamp, had a mix of on-demand video training, live class training (which were recorded), practice exams for the CSAA exam and hands on exercises.
