About Me

I am a graduate of Oregon State University and currently work full time as a Software Developer for Guidehouse Inc. working as a government contractor for the National Library of Medicine. Here I work as a member of both the Common Data Elements (CDE) and UMLS Terminology Services (UTS) projects. I hold a degree in Biology from Hiram College where I graduated Summa Cum Laude with departmental honors. I graduated from OSU with a degree in Computer Science in June 2019 with a GPA of 4.0.

While I might be glued to a computer screen much of the time, I also like getting outside for walks or camping and enjoy going on trips with friends. I'm also always looking for new podcasts to listen to for long drives or coding sessions. Recently I've taken a big interest in cooking and am always looking for new recipes to experiment with!

Latest Projects

Clinical Trial Search App

An Android and iOS application built with React Native for the final capstone project for computer science degree

Clinical Trial Search App
Team Project

For our final project my group decided to build a React Native application with a node.js back end running an Express web server. My main role was writing code for sending requests to the National Cancer Institute API for ongoing clincial cancer trials.

I worked to parse the results and display found trials as well as additional details about them. This was my first experience with React Native and I feel it has been a great learning experience. I am excited to try and develop other applications using React Native in the future.

SurroundConditional

Notepad++ Plugin - Surround Conditional

A plugin designed to simply and quickly surround a selected block of code or other text with a chosen conditional statement. Project was written in C++ using the existing Notepad++ plugin framework. This idea was inspired by similar functionality provided in Visual Studio that I could not quite find in an existing plugin for Notepad++ in the way I hoped.

Plugin currently allows for options to be selected from menu or for the use of shortcut keys. Possible further work would include support for different languages and of course refactoring and bug fixing as necessary.

This was a console C++ game designed for a university project.

Collect the Lights Game

Collect the Lights - Unity Game

Collect the Lights is one of the first games I made in Unity as I tried to learn the platform. The goal of the game is to guide a brave red box (I am not an artist) around levels to collect floating lights. Collecting enough lights allows you to go to the next level if you can find where the invisible door is! The game features an enemy and even a defensive power up. Since working on this game I have started a great course on Udemy to learn more about the Unity game engine.

Langton's Ant

Langton's Ant - C++ Console Simulator

One of my initial school projects was to make a C++ simulation of Langton's Ant. The simulation run in the console and prints out the state of the board every round. The user choses the size of the board. The ant's starting position can be chosen randomly or set based on user input. Ant movement is unrestricted by size of board, since if the ant were to step outside of the boundaries it is simply "wrapped" to the other side.

Scientific Assay Data Processing Simple Automation

Awhile ago I decided to save myself some copy and pasting at my current workplace as a scientist. This program takes the output from a machine used to determine protein concentrations, parses the data, and using an existing C++ library, LibXL places the data into a premade excel template sheet specific for our purposes at this lab. The program uses an initial Python script for the data parsing and then the rest of the program is written in C++.
