I have a PhD in Industrial and Operations Engineering from the University of Michigan under Yili Liu where I developed models of dual-task performance in Queueing Networks - Adaptive Control of Thought-Rational (QN-ACTR) and the effect of incentive-induced effort on time-sharing efficiency between tasks. I studied task concurrency and the contributions of individual task execution and time sharing to performance improvements under increased effort. I developed custom software for experimental task interface, data collection, and data analysis, and a Wii-remote cursor controller in Java using four USB-powered infrared LEDS.

I received a bachelor's degree in Computer Science from U-M in 2007 and a master's degree in Computer Science from Wayne State University in 2009. My master's thesis concerned the adaptation of Cultural Algorithms to solve multi-objective optimization problems.

Tabasci(.com)

is a web-based collaborative real-time guitar tablature editor that I built in Dart on Firebase.

You could, theoretically, write the intro to stairway to heaven in 2 minutes.

The strong late-90s ascii text aesthetic is congruent with the historically plaintext nature of shared tablature, while the editing features use both rich keyboard commands and more accessible mouse actions, and are optimized for the most common tablature editing operations.

It provides plain-text export to support sharing on any tab hosting service and onsite sharing and collaborative editing.

Enamerator(.com)

is a Markov chain-based name inventor trained on American name data that provides a never-ending list of randomly-generated names that are not very good. It supports length range and prefix parameters. The names tend to sound science fictiony.

Potlucky(.io)

is a spot for organizing potluck dinner parties and is an exercise in informal, minimalist, responsive, and functional design.

ARL

I work at the Army Research Laboratory where I have developed APIs in C#, Java, and C++ for accessing data transmitted via RabbitMQ, each using the native event system or accepted callback paradigm of the language. The APIs encapsulate the complexities of communicating with RabbitMQ and unmarshalling data to allow client code to subscribe to events and receive data in language-native classes.

I also wrote reference documentation and development guides for each API and produced tools to aid client application development. Wrote package to create game objects in the Unity game engine based on the data.

University of Michigan

From 2006 to 2013 I developed 3DSSPP a biomechanics analysis and job safety application for Windows. I integrated results and models from empirical biomechanics and ergonomics research into application features, rewrote the biomechanics analysis backend to improve speed, remove hard-coded legacy constants, and conform to modern code style, engaged with customers to identify bugs and desired features, trained new project members on the code base and managed development efforts.
