Personal Projects
For work, school, or personal use, I've made a bunch of different things. Here's just a few of them:
As a part of a class project, 2 classmates and I created a Pictionary web application. You can connect with your friends from across the world and draw with your mouse to try to get someone to guess your word! See a live demo here.
In my IT work, I used a lovely program called csshX, which allows you to control multiple SSH sessions from a single terminal window. However, it only ran on macOS, and worked by tiling all the windows on your desktop, so things quickly became unruly. I decided to write my own version of it for the terminal multiplexer tmux that solves those problems, adds a couple extra useful features, and even starts up faster.
I like to follow a lot of emulation development blogs that post very infrequently, and while RSS is great, it still requires you to occasionally check in to see if there are new posts. So I made a program that checks all your RSS feeds periodically and sends you push notifications if it finds a new post.
A Few Experiences
Here's a couple things I've done over my academic career:
Goshen College ITS Technical Assistant
For two years, I've worked as a technical assistant in the ITS department on the Goshen College campus. My responsibilities have included leading a campus-wide office computer migration from Windows 7 to Windows 10, Mac computer administration, VM infrastructure management and updates, as well as various other smaller roles.
Quarknet at University of Notre Dame
Quarknet is a program that employs qualifying area high school students over the summer to work on projects relating to particle physics and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Europe. I helped develop a program to interpret and analyze trends in data from the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector.
Student Assistant at the Goshen College Helpdesk
In addition to my other ITS work, I previously have worked with the Helpdesk to solve end-user problems and provide support for faculty and students on and off-campus.
