I designed, developed, and implemented a system to provide web based well monitoring for my grandfather. I used a LAMP Stack set up on a small computer to relay and store well statuses. Various Python and Shell scripts gathered data from sensors, while a PHP website, with secure user login and email alert system, gave a clear and configurable interface.

Performed production line tasks efficiently and precisely.

Working for my grandfather, my primary responsibilities included welding, grinding, repairs, and other miscellaneous tasks necessary for the completion of contracts.

At this internship I worked with a team to design and produce brochures for Canyon Technical Education Center detailing the classes offered at that institution.

Among my responsibilities were managing team members, delegating tasks, and working with customers one on one to provide them with ice cream and excellent service alongside my team.

Game Development, for competition, and for fun

I have endured and enjoyed many 24 and 48 hour game making competitions with teams of friends, and sometimes strangers. I love creating games (more like tech demos) under tight time and resource constraints.

Programming and Technology

I enjoy experimenting and creating, with tools like the Raspberry Pi and Arduino. I’ve designed and implemented things for personal enjoyment and assignments, one of which involved designing and etching my own circuit board for a custom camera controller with settings for high speed photography,and time-lapse.

Server Administration, ​Personal game servers; Self-hosted and managed

I host a private server for friends and family to enjoy, it has been loads of fun and I learned a lot about remote server management and automation

Family

Spending time with my wife and energetic daughters. We enjoy movie night sleep overs and going to the zoo.

Skiing, volunteer ski instructor

One year I had the opportunity to be a ski instructor for children. I really enjoyed watching them learn to love the sport that I love so much myself.
