PROFESSIONAL OBJECTIVE

To continually develop a challenging and fulfilling career in the fields of application development and future technical innovations. The core goal being my further progression of skills in leading software platforms such as C#/C++, ASP.NET, Java, Python, PHP, and other industry standards, while also learning new tools necessary for the advancement and evolution of application development. These goals will maintain my competitive edge in the market and technological advantage for future projects and opportunities.

EXPERIENCE

Recent Programming Projects Tree Maker - The application is a multi-purpose organizational tool that could be used for many things. My basic intended purpose was for it to be used as a documentation tool. I needed a way to group items in a hierarchical, tree-like, structure and to associate things like links and images to each of the documentation elements. This was my first Silverlight application, and was a great way to learn many of the intricacies of the environment. Luckily I had the help of many of the Silverlight gurus over at Microsoft like, Tim Heuer, Jesse Liberty, Mike Harsh (Slidentity was very helpful) and John Papa, to name a few. The Silverlight videos on their website were an excellent way to learn the programming platform. List Manager - The application is a management and storage system for identifying information about entities and the groups and organizations with which they are affiliated. The system has multiple screens to capture data including name, address, phone number, email address, and any other information you wish to include about an entity. It also maintains a many-to-many relationship between entites (known as members within the system) and lists with which they belong. An entity can also be connected to an organization therefore inheriting the organization's address information. Bincy Bouncy - The program is a physics simulation program that allows you to specify the properties of circle or square projectiles as they bounce around the screen and off of the user created line and rectangle obstacles. The obstacle design form allows you to add and remove lines and rectangles of various sizes and positions. This was a project only meant to keep my practice up with .NET programming and has no productive value. I tried to pick something fun, while also exposing myself to things I haven't tried yet. Crab Man and Crab Man Mini - These two programs use a library I was working on to duplicate the form docking functionality within .NET (DockableForm) of many popular applications I have seen. The original Crab Man initially started simply as many forms with which I could test the algorithms I was creating. Then I decided to have some fun with it. I became interested in the potential size and functionality limitations of the .NET form controls and used Crab Man Mini as a way to see what was possible. It was good practice.

User Submission System with Database Storage and Administrator Functionality ( http://www.ewu.edu/gme/ ) The system was a joint effort between the University Relations staff at Eastern Washington University and myself. The web page interface is used by staff and faculty members all over the campus to submit events and other relevant items to the staff in the University Relations office. When a user submits an item through the system, they must authenticate using the username and password that they use to authenticate with the mail server on campus. If authentication is successful, their submission is then stored in the database until approval. Through the use of administrator-only web access, the staff in the University Relations office can then review the submissions, make any changes that are necessary, and make the submission viewable to the public. The system gives the staff an easy, online way to submit the information, while cutting down on the workload and intricacy involved in creating the client-side web pages manually.

Vadium Inc. ( http://www.vadiumtech.com/ ) I worked with Vadium Technologies off and on for a total of about 3 months on contract. It was my introduction to encryption software design using MFC/C++ programming. My role was mostly internship level, low-priority programming having to do with the user-interface and main control panel. This was initially done during my winter break of University, but continued later when they requested other design changes.
