Accorded (fka Cerebrae): fullstack engineer Nov 2021 - July 2024

● Mainly frontend

● Specialized in graphics, including d3.js and home-made svgs Miscellaneous Connecticut High Schools: Teacher of Physics, Astronomy, and Mathematics Aug 2009 - Dec 2019

● Designed personalized assignments through the use of WebAssign, Quest, ExamView, and Excel

● Created thousands of entries in the database of WebAssign (perl) and Quest (JavaScript) for classroom use Christopher Newport University: Professor of Physics, Computer Science and Engineering Aug 1992 - May 2009

● Director of Computer Engineering Program and Faculty Senator (Secretary, Vice President, and Acting President)

● Largely in change of the undergraduate teaching laboratories, during which time I converted most of the primitive lab activities to those which use either computer-aided data-acquisition or computer-grading systems

● Pioneered my university’s use of online homework systems (WebAssign) WebAssign: Contractor 2001 - 2005

● Created approximately 1,000 entries in their database of physics questions, each of which was a small perl script

● Tested approximately 1,000 entries in their database of questions which had been coded by others Full-stack PROJECTS (mostly using React.js for frontend) Pickup Sports: clone of TeamReach, an app for organizing informal recreational sporting events Live Site Github

● Uses Node.js for backend, Bootstrap for tables, and Google maps for determining distance from user to each event NetAssign: clone of WebAssign, an online education tool for both faculty and students Live Site Github

● Uses Python for backend

● Uses cexprtk (a cython-wrapped C++ math package) to attain algorithmic randomization of questions Weekend-tennis: simple app for managing a private tennis group Live Site Github

● Uses Python for backend and AWS for storing user photos TaskDragon: clone of TaskRabbit Live Site Github

● Uses Node backend, Sequelize for ORM, and Pug templates for server-sided rendering Front-end PROJECTS (mostly rendered with React functional components and hooks) Rotating Body: numerical solution of Euler’s differential equations for torque-free motion Live Site Github Traveling Salesman Problem: classic computer-science problem extended to 3 dimensions Live Site Github Quadratics Factorizer: front-end app for an algebra student to practice solving a quadratic equation Live Site Github Graphical Kinematics: relates position, velocity, and acceleration in real-time with linear-algebra package Live Site Github Colliding spheres: uses Vue to render the motion of a collection of balls that obey physical laws Live Site Github Back-end PROJECTS (each using classic algorithms to solve hard math problems and serving results via both json and html) Live Site for all endpoints, which include Calculus and related topics (Rust), Complex variables and Integer factorizer

(Golang), Linear algebra (Python), Polynomial factorizer (Python or Typescript), Logistic map (Node), Polyhedron creation/rendering/rotation (Ruby/Javascript/HTML), Matrix Diagonalizer (Java), and Assorted utilities (PHP/Twig). SKILLS
