Keanu Chetty — Charleston, SC — Computer Science, Jacksonville University

Experience

IT Analyst for a growing franchise operation since October 2023 — analyzing systems, testing software, supporting the people who use it, and documenting how it all works. Before that: restaurant operations with Python underneath them, a software development internship, a Computer Science degree, and a year teaching students to program.

IT Analyst — Systems, Support & QA

Oct 2023 — Present
Remote · Franchise network, 50+ locations at peak

Platform QA

  • Led pre-launch QA for a multi-tenant SaaS platform built for the company's franchise network, manually provisioning 7 test franchise tenants — each with its own employee and customer accounts — to stress-test the system end to end.
  • Validated multi-tenant data isolation, confirming customer, order, and franchise data never crossed between accounts.
  • Verified payment-routing integrity through Stripe, confirming each transaction charged the correct franchise account.
  • Tested third-party integrations across the platform — distributor and aggregator catalogues (TireHub, ATD), field-service scheduling (Housecall Pro), fleet telematics (Samsara) and messaging (Twilio, SendGrid) — along with checkout flow, transactional email delivery and rendering, and payment confirmations.

Coordination & support

  • Served as the liaison between an offshore development team and business stakeholders, translating issues into tracked, prioritized work through Microsoft Planner and Teams.
  • Reproduced, documented, and tracked defects with the development team, coordinating fixes and retests.
  • Provided application, email, and system-configuration support across a franchise network that scaled to 50+ locations at its peak.

Documentation & systems

  • Authored complete end-to-end support documentation in Scribe, reducing repeat questions and easing onboarding for franchise staff.
  • Designed and administered a SharePoint intranet to centralize documentation and improve information access across the organization.
  • Migrated team operations and communications to Microsoft Teams to support remote collaboration.
  • Administered Linux systems and wrote Bash scripts to automate maintenance and routine tasks.

Code Ninjas

Lead Sensei — Technical instruction & mentoring

Jan 2023 — Nov 2023
Jacksonville, FL · Livingston, NJ

  • Taught JavaScript programming and hands-on STEM concepts to students across both school programs and the Code Ninjas dojo, adapting the same material for very different ages, experience levels and learning styles.
  • Mentored students through the Code Ninjas curriculum, reaching Blue Belt status within it.
  • Led and taught summer camps covering robotics, cryptography and advanced Roblox development.
  • Worked with fellow instructors, school administrators and dojo managers to keep students engaged in STEM.

Nitro Heat

Software Development Intern

May 2022 — Aug 2022
Portland, OR

  • Worked inside a real development process: Agile methodology and Scrum, collaborative code review, and team presentations.
  • Hands-on exposure to the software development life cycle before graduating.

YourPie

Operations Lead & IT Support

Feb 2021 — Jan 2023
Jacksonville, FL

  • Led day-to-day restaurant operations and provided the IT and technical support that came with them.
  • Wrote Python scripting to support inventory management, aimed at improving stock accuracy and controlling costs.
  • Created and managed employee schedules and coordinated daily workflow in a fast-paced customer-facing environment.

Security practice

Hands-on, outside the job

CS degree with a cybersecurity minor. It started in university lab courses and has stayed self-directed since — all of it in environments built or authorised for it.

University security labs

Coursework for the cybersecurity minor: standing up an intrusion-detection setup with Snort and Wireshark, and working through website-spoofing and penetration-testing concepts with BeEF — in university lab environments built for exactly that. Alongside Linux server administration and Bash scripting.

Hack The Box labs

Worked through multiple HTB machines, practicing reconnaissance, exploitation, and privilege-escalation techniques in a legal, sandboxed environment.

Hardware security experimentation

Tested the Hak5 OMG Cable (keystroke-injection payloads) and Flipper Zero (RFID and sub-GHz) in a personal lab to understand physical-access attack vectors and defenses against them.

SOC analyst self-study

Began coursework toward a SOC analyst certification, focusing on security monitoring, log analysis, and incident-response fundamentals.

Microsoft security

Coursework toward SC-900 — Microsoft security, compliance and identity fundamentals — which is the formal counterpart to the Microsoft 365 tenant administration that is already the day job.

Early work

Coursework, kept for the record

University projects rather than production systems. They are here because they show where the database, access-control and project-planning habits came from — not because they compete with the work above.

E.01Aug — Nov 2022

Johnson & Johnson Vision project

A Jacksonville University project associated with Johnson & Johnson Vision, not work for the company. Built a SQL database, populated it with three years of simulated data, connected it to Excel for pivot-chart reporting, and put a CRUD web application over the top with login restricting access to confidential records.

SQL · Excel pivot analysis · CRUD web application · Authentication

E.02Jan — May 2022

K4S school portal

A student and faculty portal in C# and ASPX: adding, editing and deleting class schedules against an integrated SQL database, behind login and permission-based access control. Built to an Agile process across the phases of the development life cycle.

C# · ASPX · SQL · CSS · Agile · SDLC

E.03Jan — May 2022

Mock kiosk system

The planning half rather than the coding half: a request for proposal and a design-and-implementation proposal for kiosk systems, a project communication plan in Microsoft Project, a responsibility matrix, a managed budget and allocated resources.

RFP · Microsoft Project · Responsibility matrix · Budgeting · Resource allocation

E.04Aug — Dec 2021

Hospital database

ER and EER diagrams through to a working database with full insert, update, delete and select operations, built with access controls and user management and designed with larger datasets and higher transaction volumes in mind. Presented the design and the implementation.

SQL · ER / EER modelling · Azure Data Studio · Database security · Access control

E.05Jan — May 2022

EEG & eye-tracking analysis

Collected, organised and analysed experimental data from EEG and eye-tracking equipment, covering the experimental design, the testing and the statistical analysis of the results.

Python · Excel · Statistical analysis · Experimental design

Earlier still — a Python calculator, a Python 2D game, a C++ tic-tac-toe and a C++ bank management system. Listed for the progression, not the engineering.
