Mustafa Choueib.

In this role, I engineer, maintain and refine sophisticated tax software solutions tailored for government applications, enhancing system performance, functionality, and reliability in complex/high-stakes environments. By collaborating closely with cross-functional teams, including analysts and project managers, I ensured seamless requirement gathering, the implementation of new features, and strict adherence to government regulations and standards. Leveraging advanced SQL skills, I design and optimize complex queries and database schemas capable of efficiently managing millions of entries, significantly improving data processing and retrieval. Through the use of object-oriented programming principles and design patterns, I develop maintanable and reusable code components, enhancing software extensibility while minimizing technical debt. This multifaceted approach allows me to deliver robust and scalable solutions that meet the demands of critical government operations.

In 2020, I received an offer from Arcelormittal Dofasco for a 16-month internship. This intership consisted of various aspects that helped sharpen my capabilities. I often worked on integrating, debugging, or developing live systems. I also worked with data acquisition; setting up, querying, and accessing databases. I was required to create live web applications (using C# and asp.net) to display real-time data. Lastly, a big aspect of my position was to create python scripts to help automate different processes that were done manually. During this internship, I developed skills that can be utilized in all applications and learned how to use tools and frameworks that were originally foreign to me.

In this role, I am responsible for designing, developing, and implementing web applications and software solutions. I collaborated closely with clients and project stakeholders to understand their requirements and translate them into robust, scalable, and user-friendly applications. My job involved creating technical specifications and architectural designs for web applications, implementing responsive front-end interfaces using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript frameworks, and developing back-end components and server-side logic using technologies such as Node.JS, Python, Ruby, or PHP.

I am currently expected to graduate from the Software Engineering and Management program at McMaster University in April 2023. This program pairs an undergraduate engineering degree with a core business education, requiring students to take all core commerce courses. The benefit of the management program is the versatility that it provided. This provided me with the technical and theoretical software engineering fundamentals, alongside the ability to think with a business mindset. This also enhanced my soft skills such as leadership, communication, teamwork and other important skills necessary to work within an organization.
