Hi, I'm Derek McElroy, a recent graduate of the Full Stack Java Bootcamp at WeCanCodeIt. My journey into coding has been both challenging and exhilarating, equipping me with the skills to develop dynamic web applications and fostering a problem-solving mindset.

With five years of experience as a learning trainer at Amazon, I bring strong communication skills and a deep understanding of how people learn. This background has seamlessly transitioned into my passion for coding, emphasizing continuous learning and adaptability.

I'm excited to apply my coding skills and training experience to create seamless user experiences. Let's connect and explore the boundless possibilities at the intersection of technology and creativity!
View ResumeI attended WeCanCodeIt's Web Development course in 2023, and this site is my Final project, that was collaborated on as a team Project. For this project, I worked as the Project Manager utilizing SCRUM methodologies to keep my team on track, held daily 1-on-1 meetings with each memeber, and weekly Team Huddles to ensure forward progress.

In my time working in a Leadership role at Amazon, I was fully enveloped in the Microsoft Suite of tools and programs. I developed many Tools and macros for use at my former Amazon facility, and even a few utilized across the network.
*
A few notable tools I built include an "Action Report" tracker (to assist training teams keeping track of modules completed), A "Small Teams" tracker (To assist with keeping up with roles and rotation of departments). As well as many others, utilizing unique and complex formulas and basic to intermediate macros for pulling data off of Amazon's internal database.
The following tools are technologies I've collected over the last few years that I'm comfortable with. Just not these tho! I am always learning! Wether it is a deeper understanding of my existing suite of tools, or diving into the unknown for a future project!
