Profile
I am a skilled Software Engineer with a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and a passion for finding elegant solutions to challenging problems. From a goal as small as refining the user experience in a single application to as serious as expanding access to educational tools in developing nations, I want to use the power of computing and the internet to improve people’s lives.
Achievements
- Co-designed and implemented Fourdrinier, an in-house CMS, as part of a small team of developers, resulting in a dramatic increase in the functionality, stability, compatibility and usability of The Post Online, a public website serving thousands of users.
- Designed Fourdrinier's PostgreSQL database and converted and regularized years of historical data to an internally consistent format, greatly increasing the efficiency of data insertion and retrieval as well as expanding the utility of existing data.
- Created an automated backup solution using Perl and rsync for the servers supporting Lon-CAPA, an online course delivery system, at Ohio University, increasing the frequency and longevity of backups while decreasing storage requirements.
- Automated high-volume, labor-intensive data entry processes as Technical Coordinator at a branch office of America Coming Together, a voter education group, resulting in a more than ten-fold productivity increase and significant cost savings.
