Steven Necola
Software Engineer
I'm a computer science student at Queens College passionate about furthering my career in Software Engineering. Currently I lead and organize an eSports community of over 300 people passionate about individual and team improvement. Doing so has been a monumental exercise in software development, scheduling consistency, and team organization. Every day I acquire new tools and work on new projects to raise the standard of work I can accomplish.

Trainee Initialization Form
In the eSports community I lead, on-boarding new trainees was the most tedious and time consuming process for the recruiters. Before automating the process, on-boarding took about an hour to create documents, track accounts, give permissions on the discord. Afterwards? One form, less than a minute.
Technologies used: JavaScript, Google Sheets Scripts, Google Suite API, Discord.js, Airtable API

Community Founder & Leader
PRAE eSports Community
December 2019 - Present
Founder and leader of an online eSports community playing Planetside 2 with over 300 active members focused on constant personal and team improvement. As such, infrastructure and organization of this project has been a massive and very constructive learning experience. Some of my accomplishments towards bettering the community include:
- Use of JavaScript, Advanced Excel, and Google APIs to automate tedious document creation through a single short and easy Google form. This has saved about an hour of manual labor from trainee initialization time across 100+ new members since implemented.
- Many scripts created, modified, and maintained using Python, JavaScript, and REST APIs to display team member statistics and growth trends in a clear and concise manner. This has led to a calculated 80% retention rate for players.
- Tutoring and learning new tools from the wide variety of Computer Science students and software engineers in the community to continue pursuing my career as a Software Engineer.
- Consistent weekly leadership meetings to keep the community on track towards a stronger and healthier future, schedule events, and address any potential issues.
