Objective:

New Graduate with a BS in Computer Science seeks entry level job. Strong skill in Java and C++

programming.

Education:

9/2010-5/2014, University at Buffalo, The State University of New York, Buffalo, NY.

Bachelor of Science, Computer Science, July 2014.

Relevant Experience & Projects:

10/2012-3/2014 Engineering For A Sustainable World, University at Buffalo

Worked on two projects for this science/environmental club.

Lead a project which measured and displayed the voltage produced by students using stationary bicycles

at elementary and middle schools. Depending on how fast the students pedaled, they could see lights

they powered.

• Designed the project and performed the electrical work.

• Wrote a program in a C language derivative, called Arduino, which converted the electrical signal

produced by the students into data which could be displayed. Delegated data storage and retrieval

programming work to two other students.

• Programmed a Arduino Uno Microcontroller, as we changed features on the bicycle.

• Created Software Planning Documentation for development of a realtime display of voltage produced

by the bicycles. The bicycles will transmit data to wireless devices by bluetooth.

• In a different project, wrote a program in Java to measure the carbon footprint made by using different

methods to dry hands, such as by paper towel, and two kinds of electric dryers.

11/2012-8/2013 Streaming Music Player

Wrote a program in Java to stream music from a computer to a smartphone. Developed software that

opened a socket on the host computer, and allowed streaming via a UDP connection, responding to two

types of queries. Starting with free-sourced code, added capabilities to connect an Android device to a

computer, and play songs residing in the host computer.

• Written in Java to give Object Oriented Mobility for future improvements

• Utilized Sockets/Android API to build a network connecting home computer to phones

could use to list and trade items.

• Wrote the base code of the website was written in HTML 5

• Used JavaScript to allow dynamic screen sizes and smartphone compatibility

• Worked with the university’s IT department for logins and permissions, and for guidance regarding

compatibility.

• Used PHP to connect to the MySQL Database and list items dynamically
