What I Do

Software

I develop software during the day for a company. I also implement solutions in my spare time to solve various problems that myself and others have.

Security

I study networking, network and software security, and ethical hacking outside of work in order to keep up with the times and allow myself to be able to assess other's needs.

Architecture

I am currently approaching a new level of development where I am putting together larger projects by looking at the bigger picture and breaking it into parts to be a solution to a much larger problem.

Projects

Raspberry Talk

I am implementing two Raspberry Pis with Ubuntu Server to talk to one another using Google Speech to Text and a Character.AI API. Written with Python.

Prison Rideshare

This project was developed when I was self-employed and a friend came up with the idea to help families of prison inmates have a rideshare application to visit their loved ones. It was originally a ASP.NETCore application, but it is now being developed as a Django web application.

Profile

I moved to Pittsburgh in 2018 where enjoy doing a number of things around the city. Pittsburgh is like a small town and a metropolis at the same time, not to mention it is a serious tech hub. I was born in Grand Rapids, MI, and I moved around a few times. I fell in love with computers in the 80s when my dad had a computer lab in his middle school. He brought me there and let me experiment, and I was hooked. This is truly when I started my career. I later went to Rochester Institute of Technology where I was a part of Computer Science House and the Honors and Leadship Program.
