Another developer completely different from some of the other developers which aren't quite the same as this one is. Experienced computer programmer with a passion for craftsmanship. I love making things that hone my existing skills or help me learn new skills. Along with my expertise in computers I have varying levels of experience and interest in business, electronics, fabrication (wood, metal, glass, plastic, textiles, etc), machine learning, search engines, big data, Internet services, psychology, assistive technology, robotics, wearables, mobile computing, and pretty much anything else involving technology or making things. My typical day involves working in Linux, Mac OS, Windows, and iOS; programming Bash shell, Python, PHP, Objective-C, and JavaScript; experimenting with making a few strange contraptions; studying odd topics ranging from ancient history to linguistics to encryption algorithms; and then showing my kids (6, 8, 10, and 13yo) how to do absolutely everything too. I see the world as magical and beautiful and just seek to contribute what I can and make life better for everyone.
Development of frontend and backend software related to data analytics and healthcare. Worked on desktop, Blazor web apps, and services using C#, Python, SQL, and PowerBI. Worked with Windows Server and SQL Server. Developed cloud services with Azure and Box.net. Developed tools and procedures to accelerate development.
Freelance web and software development. Offering full stack web development, mobile development, desktop development, embedded development, and consulting services. Current projects include web development and mobile game development.
Innovative products involving custom software, hardware, and services. Originally created large Internet multi-player games with an emphasis on social aspects and co-building with RPG elements. User interface was a mix of text, interactive web elements, ANSI graphics, RIP graphics, and VRML. Built custom hardware to make mobile VR/AR possible. Used AI and ML to create chatbots, predictive elements to gameplay, and more. Allowed users to contribute content and build their own areas. Had in the range of 100,000 unique users around the world at peak. Created much of the technology myself. Managed business aspects. Hired and managed engineers, artists, and content writers. Original code base was written on the MOO and ColdMUD platforms. Later rewritten in C and Python with a standard database backend.
On the software architecture team I developed Azure cloud storage solutions, barcode detection and recognition, PDF generation and conversion, and ASP.NET and KnockoutJS based web applications. I also worked directly with the research and innovation team to create tools for generating images for e-paper screens. Worked with MuPDF, Callas, Ghostscript, ImageMagick, and OpenCV.
Developed and maintained web, desktop, and mobile applications. Did new development in C# with ASP.NET but maintained and migrated existing Visual Basic (VB) classic ASP and VBScript based apps. Also HTML, Javascript, SQL, PHP, Python, and Objective-C. Did some Node.js projects. Managed Amazon AWS cloud servers and services including Microsoft SQL Server, S3, Elastic servers, and Route53. Managed Windows, Linux, and MacOS based servers. Managed IIS, Apache (LAMP), and Mail Enabled servers. Used Xamarin C# to write apps for Android and IOS.
