Experience Highlights and Current Projects
Python Issue Tracking Request tracker (Winter 11):
This was a Python tool designed to search the Subversion repository
and commit logs looking for messages indicating that an ITR had been
implemented in that commit. It would then traverse the rest of the Repo,
looking for descendants of that commit. Basically following the commit
through until it wound up back in the Trunk, listing all of the branches
and released versions of the DLL it found in between.
Timeout Data Editor (Winter 11):
This was a .NET 4/WPF tool designed to facilitate the editing of a
timeout config file used in our test package. It involved using WPF, the
Model-View-ViewModel pattern, and LINQ to XML.
Senior Design - Dog Ball Launcher (Fall/Spring 08):
This was an embedded software project written for Senior Design. The
code was written for a dsPIC 30F2010 embedded microcontroller in C. The
program waits for sensor input, and at the appropriate time, launches a
tennis ball for a dog to retrieve. The software is event driven, and
handles aspects of motor control, analog to digital conversion, and sensor
management. I was the primary software developer for this project.
OpenGL PAINT (Spring 08):
This was a simple Paint clone written with OpenGL and the GLUT
toolkit. Line drawing and shape drawing were implemented using developed
algorithms instead of OpenGL functions. Done to understand basic drawing
algorithms and OpenGL/GLUT usage.
SteveNET Simple Shell (Spring 08):
This was a simple command line shell, written in C, to demonstrate
various aspects of process control. Basic shell commands, such as directory
changing, I/O redirection and process management. Writing a test plan for
this software was also a major part of the assignment.
BorgBOT (Fall/Spring 07)
This was an entry for the 2007 IEEE Region 5 Robotics competition. I
lead a small team through the development, prototyping, coding and testing
of a robot. The robot developed was actually a team of 3 identical robots
designed to run on the track at the same time, communicating with each
other via wireless communication. As team lead, I was responsible for all
aspects of project planning, including budgeting and scheduling. The team
involved ended up finishing 4th out of 30 teams, and placed highest of the
teams sent from SDSM&T.
