COLLEGE EXPERIENCE

Parallel Algorithms – Using Pthreads in C++, well known algorithms and solutions

to problems were created to run in parallel. The concepts of shared memory and

message passing were used. The PuTTY SSH client was used to connect to a multi-core

Linux machine to run solutions.

Problem Solving and Programming – Ideas of how to solve problems efficiently in

terms of time consumption, memory consumption, or both were implemented,

culminating in a final NP-Complete graph problem.

BudgAid (Senior Project) – Java program designed to assist a user in budgeting

money through the use of budgets, budget groups, and various types of accounts.

Concepts of inheritance, data encapsulation, and file I/O were used. The Java Swing

Library was used to create the GUI. All of the GUI components were coded from scratch

without the use of a GUI Builder. Android functionality was implemented to allow a user

to carry a shopping list on their Android device and track expenses. The project was

completed in a group of three, with each member assigned as group leader for four

weeks.
