Summary
Hello all, I hope that I can help people with their programing problems/concerns. Not only do I have extensive project experience in many different web/mobile technology stacks as well as a full time job in the industry, but my computer science degree from UMBC has given me a large knowledge base of the building blocks of code from Data Structures, Regular Expressions, and more. In addition to modern Javascript frameworks, I can help with Object Oriented C++ design, C coding in the linux kernel, and scripting languages such as GREP, AWK, BASH, and SED.

Personal Projects
Oregon Trail Web Game
2016
HTML/CSS
PHP
MySQL
JavaScript
LAMP Stack
Created the oregon trail web game with updated graphics with a group of 3 other people for a school project. This was done in about a month and was a very complicated game to create as there are many random events that occur. The work I did in the project involved the core game logic in javascript and a minigame at the end where you cross the river and have to move your boat left to right to avoid rocks falling down towards you! This involved frame by frame animations using HTML5 Canvas and Javascript.

Onsenui
Before I got my first job in programming, I was given a challenging programming test. In all honesty, the test was ridicously rigorous for a screening test and has been since scrapped for future job openings, but I am proud of myself for completing it! It involved the entire stack that the company was using to create an iPhone/Android Cordova App(multiplatform hybrid app using web technologies). It involved a secure login with encrypted passwords and persistent sessions. It involved a page where you can add contacts and save them to this account. Then there was a final screen where you can view all of your contacts you have created on a pretty card-view display. You can edit them as well and if the contacts are saved only to the account you are logged in as.
