About Me

I'm currently a Computer Science major at Indiana University Bloomington. I have been programming in various capacities for almost five years now, mostly in object-oriented languages like C# and Java. I have a passion for problem-solving and design that I express by making all of my own assets. All of the graphics within my apps are self-made; I enjoy the process of bringing all of the pieces together to make a cohesive user experience. Going forward, I would like to focus my efforts more toward software engineering than web design and development. If you would like to see what I have been working on recently, as well as my past projects, you can take a look at my GitHub. My resume contains a more detailed summary of what I have done aside from code. Click this button to check it out!

Projects

Stock Viewer

Description - This is an app that can be used to monitor stock prices and calculate useful metrics such as a company's return on invested capital (ROIC), and earnings yield. These metrics can be calculated in bulk (by specified industry), and then ranked accordingly. The core functionality is a web scraper that travels to financial websites and pulls the necessary numbers to do the calculations. This project was created in order to practice asynchronous programming. In essence, handling data that is constantly changing and performing a task effectively.

Language - C#

Pebbl

Description - This app is useful for visualizing mathematical functions in greater detail than what could be done on a normal graphing utility. Features include: animated functions, vectors, real-time tangent line to curve, and derivative functions. This project was created as a means of learning javascript and introducing myself to app development in the browser. However, what originally was a web app transformed into a desktop app which utilized the electron framework.

Language - Javascript (NodeJS)
