Hi, I’m Rafael Nemet, an aspiring software engineer and passionate computer science student at Yeshiva University. My journey is guided by a deep curiosity and a desire for growth, constantly seeking opportunities to expand my skills and collaborate with like-minded individuals in the tech industry. I thrive on problem-solving and innovative thinking, always eager to use technology as a tool to make a positive impact on the world.
A mindset that guides me is inspired by Ralph Waldo Emerson's famous quote: "It’s not the destination, it's the journey." This philosophy reminds me that there is always a way to achieve something-sometimes through hard work and persistence, and other times through unexpected opportunities. No matter the challenge, I am committed to never giving up.
My studies in computer science have provided me with a solid foundation in programming, algorithms, and data structures, equipping me with the tools to tackle complex problems and build innovative software solutions. I have also gained valuable real-world experience during my time at IBM, where I contributed to various projects. This hands-on experience has enhanced my technical skills and provided me with a deeper understanding of how to deliver impactful solutions in a professional setting. With a firm understanding of the industry's current and future needs, I am confident that have the skills and determination to succeed as a software engineer.
Beyond academics, I am determined to make a positive impact on the world, one step at a time. I believe that even small actions can have a big effect on people's lives, and I am committed to doing my part to create a better future for all. By staying focused on my goals and never losing sight of the bigger picture, I am confident that I can help change the world for the better, one step at a time.
Check Out my ResumeThis project was successfully completed during my internship at IBM, where I designed and implemented a robust CI/CD pipeline using Jenkins, Python, Groovy, z/OS, and Bash scripting. The pipeline automated weekly testing, reducing the process time by 75%, eliminating 4–6 hours of manual work, and allowing the team to focus on higher-priority tasks. Additionally, I integrated the pipeline with Slack to deliver real-time automated test reports, significantly enhancing result visibility and facilitating quicker, more effective failure investigations.
This project was a 5-stage program where I implemented HashTables, Stacks, Tries, Heaps, and BTrees from scratch using Java. I also wrote unit tests with JUnit and Maven and used the JSON library. The final product was a document search engine that stored documents and managed memory with two-tier storage (RAM and Disk). This project reinforced my coding skills and taught me how to effectively manage memory, work with different data structures, and search for solutions to complex problems.
