LIFT Self Service CMS Portal
Fall 2014

Lead developer of a customer web portal that was sold as an accelerator product for clients at my previous company, Fruition Partners. Exposed our partner's SaaS platform, ServiceNow, and its workflow engine in a clean responsive desktop and mobile interface for multiple industry verticals. Project lasted 4-5 months and I was the main developer working across the full stack with just a designer and some part time backend data help from one other dev. Successfully learned front end technologies to deliver this project. Started by creating a series of wireframe mocks of requirements, then developed a functional prototype to vet the design. Later, after core assets were delivered by a designer, developed final version of the site with only some additional backend assistance from another developer.

Tabber Guitar
October 2011

Participated in Boston's 48 hour Startup Weekend event. 2nd Overall, 1st Place Technology finish. Weekend hackathon where we assembled a team and built a POC guitar that teaches you how to play songs, scales, modes, etc via a light up guitar fret board. Implemented with a scanning led matrix, driven by an arduino micro controller. Accompanied C# Desktop application to transfer new song tablature to the device via USB. I led the software development of the project.

Two of the members spun off a startup called Tabber.co around the hackathon prototype. Featured on Engadget, TechCrunch, MTV Hive, ABC, and Kickstarter. I unfortunately was unable to join them on their venture due to being a full time student and software consultant at the time.

Microsoft Kinect Controlled Robotic Arm
Dec 2011

Kinect controlled robotic arm for Robotics I Final. Fall 11' at University Of Massachusetts Lowell.

Uses a Kinect running the MS SDK off a laptop for image processing, an Arduino micro controller listening over USB to drive the servos, and a 3 degree of motion plastic laser cut robotic arm.

The imaging software tracked left and right hand/arm positions relative to the frame of the video and translated this to movement commands sent to the arduino controller listening over USB on the robot. Left hand controlled opening and closing of grippers while right hand controlled movement of 2 axis arm.

Elevator Saga Game
Jan 2015

Entry into online JS programming challenge. It is web based programming game where the user programs an optimization algorithm to control the movement of a series of elevators. The goal is to transport people the most efficiently. Depending on how good your algorithm is, you can progress though more difficult levels, where there are different optimization constraints.

Class Scheduler in Scheme (Lisp Variant)
May 2011

Class Scheduler project written in Racket/Scheme (Lisp Dialect) for my Org of Prog Languages class at UMass Lowell, May 2011. My original idea to Scrape registrar's webpages of UMass Lowell and uses map filter to create every schedule permutation of classes you select. Helps students determine possibilities of class schedule, especially when multiple sections offered. Includes web UI as well.

Implementations of Algorithms
Spring 2010

My personal implementations of various Algorithms from my 91.350 Excursions into Comp Sci Honors class elective by the famous Prof. Jim Canning. This was a self study project based course where we implemented a number of famous algorithms in C. KMP String Matching, Hadamar Matrix Multiply, Max Sum Subvector, Strassen Search, Tromino Tiling, Mandlebrot, Polynomial Evaluator, etc.

Office HUD
Feb 2011

Fun self started electronics side project. Uses an Arduino micro controller to display current song information, time, and email alerts from a work computer on an 4x12 LCD screen at my work desk. Driven by a little C# desktop program to scrape information and send to the Arduino via USB in real time.
