Work
Leanpub - Full Stack Developer
January - April 2022
In my first co-op, I was a full stack developer working on the Leanpub website. I started out doing minor bug fixes, but by the end of the term I was solo developing large web features such as the 'Community Edition'.
PolicyMe - Testing Engineer
September - December 2022
My second co-op was a testing position at PolicyMe. On top of the usual test creation and test suite maintenance, I also implemented several infrastructure upgrades such as test integration with Slack and Hubspot.
Leanpub - Full Stack Developer
May - August 2023
For my third co-op I returned to Leanpub as a Full Stack Developer, where my main focus was implementing EditAI, an OpenAI powered copy editor for ebooks. I also designed and developed large sections of the new storefront.
STR-SpeechTech - Software Developer
January - April 2024
My fourth co-op was at STR-SpeechTech, where I lead the design on the transition from a code monolith to a microservices architecture. I also did extensive UI design, and implemented a new feature allowing the project to accept additional types of data
About
Hello! I'm Scott Kenning, a full-stack developer and fourth year software engineering student at the University of Victoria. I specialize in Typescript and Javascript, but I enjoy writing code and solving problems in any language. Beyond the usual coursework, I'm leading a student project called StudySpaceFinder, a website that helps students find empty classrooms on campus. When I'm not staring at a screen, I enjoy playing soccer and the occasional round of golf.

StudySpaceFinder
StudySpaceFinder is a website that highlights empty classrooms around the University of Victoria. This project was done through the programming club Vikelabs, where I lead a team of 3 through the process of designing a functional website, from the initial idea and user research through to the finished product. The original inspiration stemmed from a constant struggle of finding an empty table during peak hours at the university. The front end is built in React, and the server is written in Go
