I served as a software engineer and developer on a team for the Cornell Vet School Pet Health application made for the Cornell Vet School. This was done as a part of a project in CS 5150: Software Engineering.The Cornell Vet School Pet Health App is a comprehensive pet management system for the iPhone & iPod Touch that focuses on nutrition tracking for dogs and cats. Users will be able to find out the amount of KCals in various pet foods and construct diets so as to help their pets get to and maintain their ideal weight. The system will also allow for tracking of immunizations, medications, and other useful pet medical information.The app is currently preparing for submission to the App Store.

Programmed a cross-platform C++ serious game called Method To My Madness. The game aims at teaching figurative language (idioms) to pre-adolescent children with Asperger's. Children with Asperger's have trouble with figurative language, often adopting a literal interpretation. Since there have been studies showing that these children learn best through computer interaction, Method To My Madness was developed as a experimentation tool to see the effectiveness of serious gaming in teaching children with Asperger's.Specifically, I led the software design of the game, developed the tile-based game engine and Mac version of the software, and integrated the Natural Language Processor (NLP) and battle engines into the game.
