Roadie is the first on-the-way delivery network that utilizes excess capacity in passenger vehicles, connecting people with stuff to send with drivers already heading that direction. Over the summer, I went through an intensive month long research project on how to build a competitive shipping estimator. That research laid the groundwork for me to design and build a working prototype that we tested with users. My project ultimately ended up going through a visual design overhaul and then pushed out live.

Evntr is an Atlanta-based startup building a mobile app for creating & finding local events. I joined as part of the founding team as the sole technical talent. During my time at Evntr, I brought the app from a rough prototype to the iOS App Store and through three updates. I used Parse for the backend and wrote the app in Objective-C in Xcode.

I started in the Real Time Power & Intelligent Systems Lab (RTPIS) as a research assistant to Dr. Bitpul Luitel. With him, I developed a micro-grid visualization using HTML/CSS/Javascript. The following year I started my departmental honors research on PMU data visualizations under the direction of Dr. Kumar Venayagamoorthy. I worked with the openPDC platform and 12 PMUs from SEL. My last semester at Clemson, I completed a semester long group project in a graduate level smart grid class on designing a 100% clean micro-grid for Clemson that made use of the resources in the lab. I was responsible for creating a visualization to communicate our results. The research paper and visualization are presented in my Seelio portfolio - https://seelio.com/alexryan/public

Over the summer of 2014, I did research at Texas A&M though the Smart Energy & Smart Systems REU. My research was done under the direction of Dr. Le Xie and a visiting PhD student from Tsinghua University. The project - EnergyCoupon - implemented a platform to directly engage consumers in demand response. My contribution centered around the development of an Android app created to communicate with consumers. By the end of the summer. I brought the app from a rough prototype stage to a product that could be demoed. See https://seelio.com/alexryan for more details.

Assisted in the development of a mobile iOS application for viewing Sharepoint content from Office 365 on the go with another intern from Georgia Institute of Technology. Implemented a core data model for data persistence, designed & coded the introduction screens for the app, implemented tab bar navigation, fixed documented bugs, and developed numerous other features. I also gained experience using Git for source control.

During Spring of my sophomore year, I found Mountain Lakes church - a strategic partner with North Point Community Church. After spending a semester volunteering with the production team in lighting, I was offered the opportunity to become a Leadership Development Program intern. Through this internship, I participated in the behind-the-scenes work that it takes to run a startup church and served as an intern to the lead producer. I also attended leadership conferences and read through multiple leadership books with the lead producer & other interns.

Munich, De

Summer internship at the Headquarters of the Siemens' Smart Grid Division. Over the summer, I worked as an intern for Ken Geisler - VP of Strategy for Smart Grid - and worked on a software integration with a chief architect for Siemens' Spectrum Power product. For Ken, I developed use cases and worked on high-level integration strategies for new dynamic applications. My research focused on PMU technology and situational awareness. With the chief architect, I helped develop an integration between an enhanced PDC application and Siemens Spectrum Power product.

Along with doing foundational Search Engine Optimization, I led up the testing for two products: Popcorn and SharePoint Lists for Jive. I worked in an agile development environment (SCRUM) and used SharePoint extensively to document issues and to communicate to the developers. For Popcorn, I helped develop the product page featured on ThreeWill's website.
