Student Developer
Developed webpages for the Bucknell Student Portal and the main website (http://www.bucknell.edu/). Pages were written in HTML with Asp.NET protocol with some JavaScript.
Became proficient in C#, XML, JavaScript, SQL and Html(asp.NET) on the job.
Created tables and wrote SQL algorithms for storing and finding data in an Oracle database.
Assisted new student developers in learning the ropes of the website, Bucknell.edu’s multiple databases, and the structure of asp.NET. - Bucknell Program for Undergraduate Research June 2015 – August 2015
Received a grant from the Bucknell PUR to research the computational modeling of emotion. The model operates in conjunction with ACT-R, a cognitive architecture developed at Carnegie Melon.
The goal of the research was to add a module to the ACT-R architecture that would allow the cognitive model to feel human frustration while doing certain difficult tasks.
Taught myself Common LISP in order to interact with the ACT-R architecture.
Still currently working on the project during the semester as an independent study. - Kairos Technologies; Orange County, CA February 2013 – June 2014
Co-Founder, Engineer/Donation Collector
Co-founded Kairos Technologies, a non-profit charity organization that takes in old, broken computers from donors, repairs them, and donates them to elementary schools in lower income communities. For more information, visit http://kairostech.weebly.com/.
Repaired desktop computers (Mac and PC) and performed military-grade hard drive wipes. Then installed Edubuntu, a Lunix based, education-oriented operating system onto every computer.
Organized meetings and agreements between our organization and potential clients.
Planned and ran a fundraiser in cooperation with Howie’s Game shack where we received 2 towers, 5 monitors, 7 keyboards, and 27 dollars in donations.
