    overview
    Coming out of my internship with Boomerang in 2017, I was given the opportunity to modernize and revamp the Boomerang for Android email client to match more closely with the newly released Boomerang for iOS. In order to do so, I needed to familiarize myself with the Boomerang for Android infrastructure, including its Django server, to add new features and fix any outstanding bugs. Additionally, I have utilized both user feedback and codebase knowledge to help plan and prioritize steps toward the modernization of the application. Furthermore, I extensively test the essential features of the application after any central infrastructure changes, documenting any issues that come up and investigating them whenever necessary. On the side, I developed a tool for efficiently searching through customer support tickets that to assist the product team in analyzing customer feedback.
