I have been a dynamic and engaged member of our team, and I have helped to deal with server hardware as well as server administration and deployment. Our team has developed new web applications for learning which are used worldwide, and we have updated, maintained and modernized many legacy web resources. Through my time with KCVS, I have had the privilege of working with many international groups such as the UN, the EU, IUPAC, and OPCW on educational resources that have been peer-reviewed for chemical and physical education. Our web development pipeline makes extensive use of HTML, CSS, Javascript and Jquery. We have also made extensive use of git, Trello and miro to enhance collaboration. For the past two years, I have been involved in a collaborative project with the University of Toronto with the goal of developing a Molecular Dynamics simulation in the Unreal Engine, which is intended to be a Virtual Reality learning tool. We have been building our simulation in C++ as a plugin that can be added to the game engine and which can read standard molecule data, as well as which can be used to build its own molecules. I am also currently working as a senior developer with KCVS and assisting in leading a team of junior developers on our web development projects. Show less
