Pasadena, Ca

* Prototyped a website data extraction application using Java and open-source software. The application used website URL / XPath information to extract relevant information from the websites and displayed the data in a human readable UI.* Developed a Windows application used for managing client contracts. Written in C# and WPF, theapplication converted existing contacts information in a variety of formats into a single organized XML format and saved it into a flat-file database. The application displayed the data in a human friendly UI allowing users to add custom fields to it.

Westwood, Ca

* Developed a Windows desktop application that displays human moisture data in a GUI window usingC#, .NET and WPF. The application was built to be merged into an existing C++ project.* Prototyped a 3D graphics application that visualizes shoe movement by simulating walking motion. Written in C++ and OpenGL for Windows, the tool serves as a front-end for the Smart Shoe project which receives the Smart Shoe surface pressure data and its X,Y,Z position. Created a 3D model of a shoe with keyframe animation simulating foot movement. Published results in a paper titled Data Fusion for Movement Visualization in a Remote Health Monitoring System presented at MobiCASE 2011.* Developed several Windows applications for various projects. Worked with a group of PhD candidates to develop the applications.* Designed and developed websites using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for CS Professor and a project page.

Pasadena, Ca
