I’ve programmed in Visual Studio VB6 for five years, VBScript, Java/JEE and JavaScript for one year, Assembly Language for three years, C#, C++, COBOL, and Fortran.

I have strong analytical and problem-solving skills, I’ve done Unit Testing, White Box Testing, Integration Testing, and I’ve designed many types of software from scratch. I’ve created analog-to-digital audio conversion software, device drivers, firmware and apps using speech synthesis, image processing and analysis, and 3D graphics.

I have six years of programming experience. Here are my Git repositories with source code for several apps:

Here’s a Twitter-like app I just created and programmed, which uses PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, Bootstrap, jQuery and Angular.js (I’ve also made a Node.js version). You can log in as petergriffin with the password peter or as other characters from Family Guy, or create your own page:

And here’s a single-page dictionary search app I made using AJAX and PHP:

I recently created an Android app with 15,000 lines of Java, and also made a C# version and a C++ version:

Science background: Computer Science, Linguistics and Library Science. I used to write video games in Assembly Language, which seems similar to embedded software work, since I dealt with the low-level matters of the processor, limited memory, and graphics chips directly, and some of my games were sold on cartridges with my games inside on chips, which is something like firmware. I’ve used HTML, JavaScript and VBScript programming to create several web pages with scripts, including automatic machine translation apps of two languages, NLP.

SAT score: 1480 (percentile 99.95). Photographic memory; quick learner; flexible and creative thinker. Good sense of humor; SNL fan.
