About Me
Bio
For over 2 years, I have been working as a Systems Engineer (now level II) for
Honeywell Aerospace. I have worked on processes and risk assessments, plus
reviewing products for cybersecurity principles and design. Lately, however,
I have been working with cutting edge Generative AI ("GenAI") technologies,
developing new ways to improve a pilot's workload in the cockpit.
I obtained my Bachelor's in Computer Science in May 2022, and I enjoy
writing desktop, web, and console applications in my free time. I am CompTIA
Security+ certified (SY0-701) as of May 2024.
Accomplishments
My greatest achievement is graduating college and university debt-free. I'd say that my websites, especially my Verse game and my Sudoku cross-platform app are among my favorite accomplishments. I am also proud of how many of the OEIS sequences I have programmed in Go, and of course my Security+ certification.
Programming Languages & Libraries
This chart shows the languages and libraries that I use. I have spent lots of time building my websites, with additional time spent with Go, Python, C/C++, Flutter, and Java. Despite spending the most time programming in Web, I would say that Go is my favorite language. Professionally, I end up working with Python and C/C++ the most.
Programming Concepts
Throughout my experience in programming, I have become acquainted with various programming concepts. These include fundamental skills like designing algorithms, data structures, dependency management, I/O, string manipulation, etc. These skills culminate in more complex skills, like working with Windows and Linux CLIs, new technologies like machine learning and cutting edge GenAI, and more.
Cybersecurity Concepts
Regarding cybersecurity, I have worked on risk assessments, Aerospace certification documents, process documentation, threat modelling, and reviews for cybersecurity.
Tools
I have used dozens of different tools throughout my career, too many to name. Some of these include: GitHub, Atlassian JIRA & Bitbucket, CMake, and GDB. Some more general tools include Adobe Acrobat, and I also have two decades of experience with Microsoft Office (since Office 2003).
Development Environments
Visual Studio Code is my preferred development environment. I have experience with Visual Studio (2010, 2012, 2017, 2022), JetBrains IntelliJ (briefly), Eclipse (Java only), and of course Notepad++. I prefer simpler environments that, while they do have plenty of customizations, still focus on running quickly and not being the obstacle to development.
