More About Me

You probably here to learn more about me...

So let's get into it. As I'm sure you've gathered so far, my name is Steven Marshall Sheets (perhaps you couldn't have guessed the middle name). I am a 22-year-old graduate from ISU. Being from an incredibly small town of about 600 people in southeast Iowa, technology gave me a means to be able to connect to the rest of our huge world, and it instilled in me a passion and appreciation for the tech industry, and inspired me to learn how I could contribute. I hope to give back and create software that really impacts people in a positive way.

While my main focus is currently on software development, I'm not opposed to learning more about the various other disciples related to software, as it is a huge field and more than I could hope to learn in a lifetime. When I'm not working on school or working, I enjoy listening to music, (very) amateur photography, working out, and just chilling with my friends.

On this website you will find a small collection of the projects I've worked on throughout the years, from those in class to personal ones, although the latter is in short supply with how busy I keep myself. Of course, this is just a website, and you won't get a full taste of my personality through this, so perhaps we'll meet sometime in the future! Enjoy the site!

Work Experience

Part of the Test Engineering team in R&D - continued in our team's policy of 100% test coverage with approximately 8,000 unit test cases for our main product, contributing about 200 myself.
Worked using Agile methodologies such as Scrum and Kanban.
Consistently worked with Google App Engine, learning aspects such as Versions, Instances, Cron Jobs, Logs, and BigQuery, and how to appropriately utilize them.
Gained familiarity with Amazon Web Services, such as learning how to properly start and work with AMIs.
Obtained general knowledge of Docker and container technology.

Assisted incoming software engineering students with their transition to collegiate life.
Led and organized two software engineering learning communities, each consisting of 24 students.
Held office hours to assist with technical questions with courses, or life in general.

Helped with the construction of this, initially experimental course, with my fellow peer mentors. It was S E 186X, but after two semesters, it is now an accepted course in the S E curriculum at ISU.
Led a section of 20 students and guided them through the development of their semester-long group project.

Set up, organized, and published the labs for the students to work on and complete.
Continued to use knowledge of C to push an understanding of core programming concepts.
Continued to hold office hours for students to demo their code and ask for help.

Guide the students to learning how to integrate field-specific computational tools for practically solving electrical engineering problems through teaching methods of systematically reducing problems into sequential steps compatible with computer-based tools.
Analyze and grade students' lab report submissions.
Continue to push an understanding of core programming concepts.
Continue to hold office hours for students to ask for any assistance.

Conducted research and completed data entry on corporations and investment vehicles, using defined procedures to identify relationships and provide validated and credible data.
Thoroughly continued to enhance data quality over time on new and existing data through continual data clean-up efforts.
Meticulously performed work according to the data quality and production standards as defined in policies and procedures.
Participated in projects, as assigned, to assist the management team with improving automation, efficiency, effectiveness of solutions, and training.

Thoroughly and accurately relayed instructions to students to ensure labs were done correctly.
Used knowledge of C to clarify and answer questions to guarantee understanding of coursework.
Through office hours, assisted students with programming work to solidify understanding.
Helped guide and organize review sessions for students before exams.
