Professional
Microsoft Sway
I work on Sway, an Office app for web and Windows 10 that makes creating interactive reports, presentations, documents, and more easy.
At the moment I'm focusing on our web client performance, front-end engineering systems, and static code analysis.
Dynamics CRM
Before Sway I worked on Dynamics CRM, in the sales vertical. My team focused on integrating Azure machine learning for sales insights in the desktop and mobile apps.
Dynamics AX
Before CRM I interned on Dynamics AX, in internal support. I created a dynamic search aggregator for for Lucene or proprietary databases to aggregate cross-source references.
Schalk Lab
Before XRM I interned in Schalk Lab, a neuroscience lab. I set up their Drupal website and internal NAS, created a MySQL database management system in Matlab, and worked on BCI2000.
Projects
Most of my personal projects are in TypeScript. I'm particularly fond of remaking old GameBoy games, fancy modern React apps, super weird meta-languages, and the occasional TSLint & TypeScript contributions.
FullScreenMario
I made FullScreenMario, an HTML5 remake of the original Super Mario Bros., in college. It had the original 32 levels, a procedural map generator, and a level editor. Nintendo shut it down with a couple of DMCA requests.
FullScreenPokemon
Now that FSM is publically dead I'm working on FSP, for Pokemon. It'll have the original 151 and campaign, a procedural map generator, and a level editor.
General Language Syntax
General Language Syntax (GLS) is an abstract syntax that compiles into common OOP languages.
CS-GLS
Uses the C# Roslyn compiler APIs to convert C# code to GLS syntax. In-progress and on .NET Core 2.1.
TS-GLS
Uses the TypeScript compiler APIs to convert TypeScript code to GLS syntax. Experimental, but nifty.
Community
I strongly believe in giving back to the community. Talks, open source projects, and mentoring are some ways that professionals in software engineering can and should give back.
RCOS
RCOS (Rensselaer Center for Open Source) allows students to work on open source projects. I mentor students and am expanding the mentorship program within Microsoft.
I volunteer with Unloop, a Seattle-based nonprofit that works to enable people who have been to prison to succeed in careers and tech.
I've given talks at BellevueJS, SeattleJS, RPI, hackathons, and occasional Microsoft events - mostly on JavaScript or TypeScript. The talks themselves are generally open source.
