Experience

Software Engineer | SRC Inc. | Dec. 2015 – Jan. 2017

• Wrote bit-buffer translators to handle several new modes of communication between an embedded hardware platform and its connected software GUI applications.
• Implemented numerous display features across multiple software GUI projects.
• Developed templated de/serialization algorithms for parsing both YAML and XML files.

QA Tester | Undead Labs | Summers 2014, 2015

• Helped to implement several new features for a load-testing tool:
• Using timers, changed the tool to run continuously on an asynchronous thread.
• Enhance the tool to generate virtual interface methods using delegates and programmatic reflection, saving development time whenever new methods are added.
• Received training as part of a QA automation class for developing shell scripting fundamentals.
• Wrote comprehensive test cases and documented bugs with exact reproduction steps.

Back End Development Intern | Viget Labs | Summer 2013

• Built a Hacker News clone (news.ycombinator.com) from the ground up using Ruby on Rails.
• Worked with UX and Front End Development Interns on a collaborative Ruby on Rails project.

Instructor, Tutor, & Course Assistant | Wesleyan University | 2012 – 2015

• Designed and co-taught a full credit Comp. Sci. course on web development (2015).
• Worked as a course assistant and private tutor teaching Java to beginning CS students.

Projects

• Developed an original board game using SDL2, with multiplayer functionality using net sockets. [ Standoff ]
• Created a working prototype for a planned 2D platformer, complete with SceneGraph space partitioning, collision detection and resolution by projection, GLSL vertex and fragment shaders, and a hybrid OpenGL 3.3 and SDL2 approach to handling input and window creation. [ 'Wasteland' ]
• Built a 3D ray-tracer from the ground up as part of the final evaluation for my undergraduate Computer Graphics course. [ Ray-Tracer ]
