“I wanted to make a contribution that mattered – I wanted to give other students a boost at an early stage. I love what I do at JerseySTEM.”
Meet Amey – a software developer with a Master’s in Computer Science from the New Jersey Institute of Technology. He’s been with JerseySTEM since August 2023, and he has worked on the automation team – and more recently the Robotic Process Automation team – to help reduce repetitive tasks and minimize the workload for his fellow volunteers.
Amey heard about JerseySTEM from a previous roommate. The opportunity to work on automated solutions and artificial intelligence was something that was both new and exciting to him. The mission to make STEM education more accessible to young girls was inspiring to him, as he recalled the challenges that came from being an international student. When you don’t have access to the same resources as others, it can be detrimental to future success compared to one’s peers.

The first project he worked on was very memorable to Amey. He was tasked with implementing a project that would make volunteers’ scheduled availability more accessible, making it much easier for volunteers to connect with each other. With the automation team, he was able to facilitate better communication throughout the organization.
Outside of JerseySTEM, Amey has a flourishing baking and cooking hobby. He’s currently working to perfect his vegan recipes for his friends with dietary restrictions, and he’s recently learned how to bake fudgy brownies.
With more than four years of experience in programming along with certifications in Tableau, Python, and Robotic Process Automation Amey is skilled in front-end development, project management, and generative AI-powered solutions. His educational background and real-world experience help him solve complex problems in a user-centric way. He is open to part-time and full-time software development roles and is based in Harrison, New Jersey.
