Intro

Hello and welcome to my portfolio! My name is Payton McCormick, and I'm excited to share with you my passion for computer science and sports. I hold a degree in computer science and have worked as a programmer in the automation industry, gaining valuable experience in developing innovative solutions to increase efficiency. I'm also a volunteer football coach, which has taught me valuable leadership and communication skills that have translated well into my career. This portfolio showcases some of my projects and achievements, providing a glimpse into my journey as a tech enthusiast.

Work

My journey in the field of programming began with a two-year program in Electromechanical Engineering - Robotics at St. Clair College. This program provided me with the fundamental knowledge and skills needed to pursue a career in the field. Upon completion of the program, I was thrilled to land my first job at Centerline, where my expertise in robotics was instrumental in diagnosing and resolving customer issues related to welding equipment.

As a Service Technician at Centerline, I gained valuable experience diagnosing and resolving customer issues related to welding equipment. My expertise in PLC ladder logic programming enabled me to efficiently troubleshoot and repair machinery, while also developing strong communication and interpersonal skills through interactions with customers.

Seeking to expand my skill set and advance my career, I made the decision to pursue a degree in Computer Science at the University of Windsor after two years with Centerline. The program provided me with the opportunity to learn new programming languages, deepen my understanding of algorithms and data structures, and broaden my knowledge of software development.

Football

I have been fortunate enough to volunteer my time with the Windsor Minor Football Association, as well as Belle River District High School, and the Essex Ravens as an assistant football coach.

As a volunteer coach, I have had the opportunity to work with enthusiastic young players and help them develop their skills both on and off the field. Coaching has taught me valuable leadership and communication skills that have translated well into my career as a computer scientist. It has also provided me with an outlet for my passion for sports and given me the opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of young athletes. I am grateful for the experiences and growth that coaching has afforded me, and I look forward to continuing to share my passion for the sport with others.
