Halospace is a Portland-based nonprofit cooperative and maker space dedicated to supporting independent media, providing mutual aid, and promoting technology leadership within the community through education and a strong open-source mindset.I served as the founding executive director and president from 2020-2024, and currently hold the role of board president.

Co-founder.Scientific data management & cloud platforms.

Assisted in the research & development in hybrid sensor networks and published journal/conference articles on the topic.Recently, working with mobile wireless network simulation, resulting in contributions to the core of the newest and most comprehensive network simulator, NS-3. Used data from the TRANSIMS traffic analysis system, which is highly accurate, to simulate ad-hoc wireless communication between vehicles in different traffic conditions.Also, currently publishing data compression methods that, when used for sensor data streaming, can be shown to provide near-optimal data reduction when run online (data is compressed as it is generated).

Principal investigator: Dr. Linda A. George. Includes distributed data collection & storage system programming (C++, MySQL). Implemented for weather data collection & distribution via interactive, real-time web-based graphs & downloads.

Includes server management, tech assistance, web development, computing lab management, and consulting on purchases and new technologies.

Assisting departmental course teaching. Provided advising for students and helped with everyday aspects of teaching upper-division college courses.

Provided Intel's mobile Linux platform (Moblin) with USB drivers and supporting applications for an advanced video-related application.This included drafting a protocol manual derived from hardware specifications and capabilities. Collaboration with other teams was required in order to maintain compatibility and meet usability standards.

Worked with in-house sensor devices (Fleck) and a custom operating system (FleckOS, or FOS) that were deployed in large-scale industrial and research-related data collection projects.My primary focus involved assisting in the implementation of threading support for FOS, device memory management QC, and providing a Python-to-Device virtual machine that allowed the execution of dynamically generated Python code on the Fleck itself.

Manged a student housing complex on campus. Included emergency response training, tenant relations, dispute resolution, lease handling, and on-call availability.

Included telephone & in-person general tech support.
