Here are some of my finished projects and ongoing work in software development. I'm interested in Web-based development, in delivering reliable and well-tested software, and in inspiring kids to get into computer science and coding.
A small website project composed of 5 pages to help teach the basics of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
I've written several complete games using Python, designed to run as stand-alone desktop applications. Below are links to the games (screenshots and source code available on their respective webpages.)
I maintain an assembly guide for an electronics hobbyist project called the Micromite Companion. It's a retro-inspired computer built on top of the PIC32 and Parallax Propeller microcontrollers. It runs an advanced version of the classic BASIC programming language.
This is a game development library/engine I developed for building retro-looking games, playable in the browser.
I've been programming since a very young age (10 years old!) and have development experience both as a hobbyist programmer and working professionally. After obtaining my computer science undergraduate degree, the majority of my professional experience has centered around quality assurance and automation testing, though the pull for me has always been toward development. I've worked for many years as a private tutor to teach kids about computer programming, hopefully to instill that same joy and immediate appeal I had toward the subject at a young age.
This was my university's language of choice during my years at SUNY Stony Brook. It's the langugae I cut my teeth on in terms of learning Object Oriented Programming concepts and developing interactive GUI-based applications.
It's a powerful language and it's absolutely indispensable in today's technology landscape. It's shortcomings (in my opinion), mostly have to do with the number of different ways to accomplish the same thing. Plus I've never fully accepted the benefit of function arrow syntax!
The C programming language has always been a favorite of mine, mostly because of the performance benefits of it's low-level implementation. I've been interested in game develpment from an early age, and this language naturally applies. The SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) library has also been a favorite of mine, written and designed with C in mind.
Python is my language of choice. I love how much you can accomplish with such a small amount of python code. No other language comes close. It's also my favorite language to tutor with, because it forces kids to adopt a clean and structured coding style (due to the way python enforces the use of spaces as a way to delinate code blocks, instead of the more common use of curly braces).
I have experience using this to manage Aglie team workloads, from hosting a Story Board to running Pipelines to creating Test Suites/Scenarios/Cases.
A lot of experience working as a member of an Agile team. Daily work consisted of Scrum meetings, meetings with subject matter experts, working with Story Cards on a Story Board, writing Test Cases, helping create User Stories and Bug work items, helping to move those Story Cards over the finish line (the "done" column!).
Experience working with key stakeholders (business analysts, qa/testers, developers) to work out features from the application's behavior as a starting point. Cucumber was used to write Feature files as a plain-english way to facilitate communication between these key stakeholders.
With Gherkin feature files as a starting point, I have experience implementing the automated tests (written in C#) using Selenium WebDriver.
Extensive experience writing reports (SQL scripts) for various stakeholders (sales, accounting). Main experience is with MySQL, with some experience with Microsoft SQL Server.
