Hello, I'm Tyvan Cheng

I'm a software engineer with a knack for problem-solving and a passion for creating efficient applications.

My Story

I'm proud to say that I've worn many hats in my lifetime. I graduated from Adelphi University with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and shortly after began a career as a Cardiothoracic/Surgical ICU RN. For the last 4 years, you could find me volunteering as a firefighter and EMT at my local fire department. Working in high pressure environments, I've developed invaluable skills such as being a quick learner, adaptive and detailed oriented ,and being a phenomenal problem solver.

Why Software Engineering?

My curiosity and knack for problem solving has always propelled me to discover ways to create innovative solutions. In my free time, I learned how to code and with another developer, built a mapboard that parses through dispatch calls using Google's Dashboard API, ultimately improving response time. I uncovered a world of limitless possibilities and realized the profound impact I could make with my mission critical analytical skills, passion for innovation, and detail oriented personality.

Projects

A LinkedIn clone using Ruby on Rails and React.js, completed with user authentication, profiles, and full CRUD functionality for posts and comments. Additionally, it utilizes a PostgreSQL as the backend database for efficient data storage and retrieval. I'm currently developing Websocket functionality to allow users to connect in real-time.

Visor is a vanilla JS application that provides a graphical representation of over 8000 stocks' performances over various time frames. Additionally, it leverages the AlphaVantage API and TickerSymbol API to provide real-time and accurate data on various stocks. I'm currently developing a beta coefficient calculator and stock-specific news feed feature for a more data driven user interface.

Experience

- Creating a C# .NET application that facilitates Bitcoin node transaction and position data querying via TCP connections to produce tailored data representation for clients

- Maintain 2 blockchain indexers, ensuring 100% accuracy of data written into PostgreSQL using data reconciliation

- Developed a donor rewards & incentives pricing engine, for CSL Plasma, driven by pricing levers and ML models to achieve an average of a 5% decrease in centers’ cost-per-liter within 2 months of development

- Created data pipeline & incorporated ETL processes on >20% of data to be integrated with our ML models

- Constructed a map board built with LED controllers and a Python-based email parser integrated with Google’s Dashboard API to display crucial data pre-arrival, improving response time by 15% over 6 months

- Lead QA/QI team for the EMS sector, applying an iterative Scrum approach in E-PCR case reviews

- Managed critically ill post-operative patients recovering from trauma, open-heart, and vascular surgeries

- Collaborated closely with surgical attendings to develop daily treatment plans on critically unstable patients
