About Me

Hi! I'm Lianne. I am a Software Engineer with experience in full-stack development using JavaScript, Ruby on Rails, React, and PostgreSQL. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Providence College with a degree in Computer Science, completed my MS requirements at NYIT, and am now pursuing my MS in Computer Science at Cornell Tech with a focus on health tech innovation. I’ve worked at Mitchells Family Stores, where I built sales and e-commerce features, and at Artemis Ag, where I developed crop management tools in Rails and React. My background also includes bioinformatics research, where I co-authored a manuscript on comparative spatial genomics. I’m passionate about applying technology to improve healthcare and create impactful digital solutions.

Projects

OpenPlaybill

Pixel perfect clone of the dining and reservation website OpenTable with a broadway theme.

Designed Rails backend search feature for Broadway shows that allowed filtering by category without additional database queries using the pg-search gem.
Adapted Redux’s unidirectional state management to increase speed of search result page and eliminate the need to render a new page.

Github

Fit Challenger

Fitness website for users to take on fitness challenges and challenge others.

Leveraged Express Router to separate different challenge resources and create routes for CRUD actions with challenges and user challenges to expand and improve user experience.
Incorporated Mongoose to construct schema models for challenges, and group challenges by assigning intuitive and flexible data types to reflect the polymorphic association between users and challenges.

Github

Is It Over Yet?

Front end site which dynamically displays Covid-19 data in the form of bar charts.

Employed external API to provide statistics by sending XMLHttp Get Requests to the Covid-19 API and parse the information for incorporation into bar graphs.
Created a MouseOver function with transition to the DOM for when a bar is hovered on, it is assigned an additional class for css and is given a new width and height for proportional growth.
