I'm a back-end software engineer on the ERP Integrations team. I'm responsible for designing and maintaining integrations that connect Procore to external ERP systems like Sage and Quickbooks. Most of my work is object-oriented programming in Ruby, using the Ruby on Rails framework.

Worked with other ITTsn team members to monitor wireless networks on-campus. Assisted with the testing of new wireless access points after their installation. Assisted users at Westmont (i.e. students, faculty, and staff) with wireless-related issues and authentication problems. Configured Raspberry Pis to monitor wireless access points automatically, lessening the amount of work to be done manually.

Coordinated with other team members to set up cameras, projectors, microphones, and other equipment for on-campus lectures and presentations.

Developed a simulator for autonomous agents based on the space combat game Xpilot. Implemented primitive traits focused on agent movement, including enemy tracking, path finding, and wall avoidance. Wrote a program for parsing and editing ASCII maps, and implemented Dijkstra's and other algorithms for path finding. Worked with algorithms related to group and swarm behaviors, including message passing and Boids algorithm for flocking. Reviewed research papers about Xpilot and topics related to agent autonomy, such as genetic programming, neural networks, and collaborative autonomy. Extensive use of C in a Linux environment, as well as some bash scripting.
