Aaron Kaye

Applications Programmer

About Me

My name is Aaron Kaye and I am an applications programmer with a passion for technology and problem solving. I graduated from Roberts Wesleyan College in 2014 with a bachelors degree in Physics and concentrations in computer science and engineering.

Since graduating, I've been working as a developer at Cornell University where I have built many web and mobile applications and continue to oversee and manage a team of developers and designers. I have a love for learning so I've been continuing my education while at Cornell University by taking courses as well as through various online trainings.

In the future, I am looking to purse a masters degree in Software Engineering and continue working in the industry. I have a great eye for design and I love working on projects both big and small.

Projects

Dyson Business Minors Tool for Students

The Dyson Business Minors Tool is a complex web application built with Ruby-on-Rails with a student interface/feature set and an admin set. On the student side, the students select 1 or more minor(s), track their progress through the minor(s), create requests for transfering outside credits or view pre-approved requests, view data such as GPA in the minor, etc.

Dyson Business Minors Tool for Administrators

The Dyson Business Minors Tool is a complex web application built with Ruby-on-Rails with a student interface/feature set and an admin set. On the admin side, the admins track the growth of the different minors, view live reports of enrollment information broken down by data points (college, major, gender, etc.), export different reports for the college, track student progress, etc.

Dyson Events

The Dyson Events tool is a tool I created for managing the different events put on by our team as well as others in the school. It allows students to sign up for events, view the schedule, and the student can join the waitlist if the event reaches capacity. The admin can set the number of seats, set event info, send mailings to all the registrants, add any content with a WYSIWYG editor. Future plans include adding the ability to accept payments and registering for different breakout session.

Dyson Pre-enrollment Tool

The Dyson Pre-enrollment tool is a tool I created for handling our pre-enrollment. Student who are apart of the business minors have early access to pre-enroll in courses and I built this tool to allow students to pick the courses they want to register for or join a waitlist if it is full. We only receive a limited amount of pre-enrollment seats which is why we have a waitlist. Also as part of the requirements given, the tool does not allow you to sign up for overlapping courses.

Dyson Grants Tool

The Dyson grants tool allowed students to apply for various sources of funding within the Dyson school. This application is built with Rails 5 as a backend API and uses VueJS for the front-end framework. The tool allows administrators to create different funds and view responses from students. It allowed admins to specify different award amounts, rate different applicants to assist in narrowing down the application pool, and used mail chimp for automated emails.
