Projects
Synergy
My friend Fred and I created a Content Management System for Windows users as an exercise in learning the C# language and .NET framework. We built a basic client/server application using .NET’s Remoting libraries that allowed users to manage a web site that was stored in an relational database on a simple server. When the site was ready to go live, the user published it to the live web server using the application’s “publish” feature.

Wave Pool Simulation
This was a solo project where I built a wave pool simulation using C++/OpenGL. The simulation used an approximation of the Wave Equation to manage the motion created by random drops “disturbing” the face of the water (represented by an N x N mesh). The math was challenging, but the project’s results were very rewarding.

PocketGator
I developed a simple RSS reader for the PocketPC platform to experiment with wireless technologies and mobile devices. The project was easier than expected as the .NET framework for the PocketPC provides a lot of the needed functionality for writing a mobile application.

Concurrent Editor Deluxe
My senior software engineering project consisted of leading a team to develop a concurrent text editor. Our team was the only team that elected to utilize a peer-to-peer architecture, and our network implementation seemed to be the most stable in the class. The other teams elected to use a strict client/server model with the server managing all operations on the edited document.

TINC - Peer-to-Peer MP3 Internet Radio
My sophomore software engineering project involved leading a team of four to develop a peer-to-peer MP3 file-sharing application with a twist. Users rated songs on a scale of one to five, and based on the profile they created of rated songs, songs were recommended by peers for streaming/listening. This was my first experience with Java’s RMI library, and though it manages much of the networking overhead, the performance was abismal.
