My Technical Skills
Web Development
My time in the Computer Systems Technology program taught me essential web development skills. I have experience developing websites that interact with SQL databases, formatting these websites with CSS, and manipulating them using JavaScript. Here's a breakdown of my web development skills:
- PHP Experience
- HTML5 Experience
- CSS3 Experience
- JavaScript Experience
- jQuery Experience
- Web Framework Experience
- Bootstrap Experience
- Laravel Experience
- Django Experience
I have also used ASP.NET, although I don't commonly develop web applications with it.
Application Programming
Programming is an aspect of Computer Science that I'm most passionate about. I enjoy the challenge of coding an interesting project, and I love putting together powerful programs that are useful in real-world applications.
I have experience developing programs using C, C# and Java. I have experience working with data structures, simple network interactions, as well as creating graphical programs that make use of multi-threading. I have also previously used MIPS, Swift, Perl and Bash, although I don't commonly use these languages.
System Administration
I have experience administrating Windows computers using Windows Server 2012 R2. Some tasks I'm able to do with Windows Server 2012 R2 include:
- Set up a Windows domain
- Deploying DHCP and DNS servers
- Create and deploy GPOs
- Set up a VPN server
- Set up WSUS and WDS servers
I am also familiar with Linux server administration and management, and have managed numerous Linux servers over the past five years.
Network Administration
Network administration and security are two areas I specialize in. I have experience with a variety of networking software, hardware, and security solutions. I have experience remotely managing networks and enjoy putting together reliable solutions that are non-intrusive for clients.
I've worked on small-scale, large-scale, and business-critical networks and am always eager to help clients maintain and improve their networks.
My Recent Work
General Motors RPO Lookup
I developed a website for owners of GM vehicles to easily look up and print RPO codes (option codes) for their vehicles. I developed this after I was unable to find a website that allowed easy RPO code entry, quick listings of all entered RPO codes and their corresponding options, and printing data in a uniform, easy-to-read format.
Sadoway Conditioning
I re-developed the Sadoway Conditioning website for Ryan Sadoway in November 2017 which replaced the original Sadoway Conditioning website designed in 2008. The new website is mobile-friendly and allows Ryan to easily edit all content without having to modify any files (unlike his old website). Lastly, this website was designed to last for years to come. It uses common technologies and frameworks such as JavaScript, Laravel, and Bootstrap.
Photo Project
I have recently developed a PHP project that allows users to view photo albums uploaded to a server. The project is able to dynamically find new photos in albums, generate thumbnails for images, and generate .zip files with the contents of an album. This project used a combination of PHP, JavaScript, jQuery, and Bootstrap. It uses AJAX when navigating through photos, and a custom web service is used for image thumbnail generation.
edus2j
edus2j is a Java port of the original edus2 software, which was usually only used with Linux. edus2j makes edus2 easily usable on Windows, and adds a few valuable features on top of the original edus2 software such as importing and exporting pre-existing scan information. This project includes a graphical interface, multiple windows interacting with each other, file loading and saving, scan importing and exporting, and multithreading.
