Mackenzie Conner

I'm a Software Engineer and Full-Stack Developer with experience building, debugging, and maintaining features in a production LAMP-based medical education platform. At Elentra, I worked on full-stack product development using PHP, Laravel, Vue.js, TypeScript, JavaScript, MySQL, REST APIs, GitLab, Docker, and CI/CD pipelines. My work included clinical scheduling features, learner-driven scheduling workflows, rotation booking views, CSV import/export improvements, API integrations, automated tests, accessibility updates, and production bug fixes.

I enjoy solving complex problems by tracing issues across the frontend, backend, database, and API layers. I have experience working in large legacy codebases, reading existing patterns, debugging unfamiliar workflows, reviewing code, writing QA steps, and collaborating with product owners, QA, designers, and other engineers in Agile/Scrum environments. I graduated from the Computer Programming and Analysis program at St.

Lawrence

College, where I built a foundation in object-oriented programming, databases, web development, and languages including Java, C#, C++, SQL, HTML/CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and COBOL. I'm currently looking for software engineering, full-stack developer, PHP/Laravel developer, backend developer, or Vue/TypeScript developer opportunities where I can contribute to production software, learn quickly, and keep growing as an engineer.
