About Me
Eager Java developer with a passion for backend development and Linux. I currently have over 2 years of experience in Software Development and 6 years of experience in Mechanical Engineering. I have used various languages to design and develop desktop and web applications across multiple APIs, frameworks, and databases. I am seeking to transition into full time software development and am confident that my experience will lead to meaningful contributions within your organization.
Projects
REV Engineering Search Tool (REST)
Many companies fall into haphazard file structures that accumulate over the years, the REST desktop application was the solution to this issue.
Summary:
REST provides a central tool to quickly locate engineering related files.
This project began as a series of locator scripts written in python as command-line tool-suite. After picking up Java, that initial idea was rolled into this desktop application. It has been fully refactored thrice over the past few years. It currently saves our team about 20 hours per week.
Features include:
●Light/Dark mode
●Ability to find drawing, dxf, and truck files
●Ability to open files directly OR open file location
●Autocomplete functionality to find truck by name or number in case of partial information
●Queryable pseudo-database to find units that contain part number(s) (currently unavailable from company parts database)
Technologies utilized:
JavaFX; SceneBuilder; Maven; Launch4j
Transmittal Review
One of the simplest mistakes that have large implications to production is transcription errors. With each release having up to 50 drawings and engineers trying to keep both the model and documentation in sync throughout the design process, these errors were not uncommon. The Transmittal Review program was designed to eliminate this issue.
Summary:
Transmittal Review provides a instant comparisons between CAD models and Transmittal(Excel) documentation.
Features include:
●Light/Dark mode
●Stateful settings
●Autogenerated default settings and default transmittal layout files
●Flexible transmittal structure, allowing anyone to make a structured json for the application to use to gather information from potential future transmittal layouts.
●Ability to compare CAD to Excel
●Ability to compare CAD to CAD
●Ability to compare Excel to Excel
●Built in hyperlinks to open any existing drawings
Technologies utilized:
JavaFX; SceneBuilder; Maven; Launch4j
Open Source Projects
With the retirement of EDDB.io a void in the Elite Dangerous 3rd Party tooling network has been created. EDPN is a FOSS successor to that project.
Summary:
This is a collaborative effort from the community and is a full stack microservice orchestration. This website is proposed to provide data to people playing Elite Dangerous. This service works in tandem with the Elite Dangerous Data Network (EDDN), an open-source extension to in game plugins that broadcasts all player discoveries through a ZeroMQ server. A Kafka buffer is used to collect all incoming messages from this server into topics based on their schema. They are picked up by processors to be inserted into our database. This information is then presented through our REST API. I am one of the core developers for the backend, focusing on schema orchestration and REST API implementation.
Proposed features include:
●Trade route plotting
●Finders for systems, stations, bodies based on: material, commodity, faction, outfitting
●Route mapping through out the simulated universe
●Celestial body information
Technologies utilized:
Spring; Gradle; Kafka; PostgreSQL; Mybatis; Liquibase; Github; Docker
Sessionless is an authentication protocol that obviates the need for a personal identifier like email, and a known secret like a password.
Summary: Sessionless is an attempt to make authentication handling easier for developers and users, while also enabling interesting behavior not possible with traditional sessions. No emails, no passwords, and no sessions, just establish auth and get going.
Proposed features include:
●Authorized account creation without requiring email
●Implementation of delegatable anonymous credentials.
●Message Passing
●Device Linking
Technologies utilized:
Spring; Gradle; PostgreSQL; Mybatis; Liquibase; Github; Docker; Secp256k1 encryption
Experience
Vehicles For Life
●Lead responsible for the continued design and development of the ambulance Wheeled Coach brand.
●Train/mentor several junior engineers through technical guidance, peer review, and hands-on training.
●Interpret contracts and specifications to determine feasibility and advise on customer requests.
●Improve ISO controlled engineering review documentation and release multiple engineering change notices.
●Designed over 300 ambulance exteriors across six independent brands for body fabrication.
●Provided solutions to critical production issues through hands-on analysis of ambulances on the floor.
●Reviewed final assembly release packages to ensure design quality prior to production start.
