Career Profile
I have had some fun projects where I built Image processing applications and a Navigation App for Android that is custom to the University of Virginia. I have also worked with Legos Mindstorm Robots to have robots simulate a rescue for a potential nuclear leak. For my previous internship, I worked on an application that integrates, SharePoint, Picasa, Live scribe Pens, and Eye-fi Wireless memory Cards. I have made several minor iPhone apps for pleasure on my own but I never got to publish them. I enjoy challenging programming projects that involve a lot of Math. On my spare time, I also enjoy making websites and work graphics design projects often. I also work as a Media Consultant at UVa's Digital Media Lab and teach Introduction to Computer Science occasionally to beginners.
