Hey! My name is,
Daniel Schenk
I am currently an undergraduate student at the University of Michigan studying computer science. I'm passionate about software development and creating projects that can make a difference!
About Me
As I said before, I am a computer science major at the University of Michigan. I got into software development when I was very young due to my favorite show, called "Chuck". I decided to pursue a career in computer science after I attended a C++ programming camp when I was 12. In school, I am a part of the software team for Michigan Neuroprosthetics. I am also the lead developer for the popular Instagram artist @Leollii's NFT collection. The collection is called Simulation Players. You can read more about this project under my featured projects. In addition, I have taught programming courses to aspiring software developers through iD Tech. I am passionate about software development and would like to create more impactful projects in the future.

Experience
Software Engineering Intern | Royal Oak, MI | May 2022 - August 2022
Shibumi is a small but impactful enterprise-facing software company. I was lucky enough to spend 4 months interning at Shibumi and learning the ins and outs of software engineering.
During my internship, I completely rewrote and optimized an entire microservice. I rewrote the service in Node.js and typescript from Java and Node.js. I was also able to increase speed, decrease memory usage, and increase the readablity of code. I also learned how to use AWS S3 buckets, and the Nest.js framework.
In addition, I created a full-stack application allowing Shibumi's clients the ability to configure SSO support with a simple UI. This involved front-end work with typescript and React, back-end work with Java, and everything in between with: SQL, AWS, and Redis.
I learned a lot from my time at Shibumi, not only to write efficient and effective code, but more importantly, to read, understand, and build off of my colleagues' work.
