about me

I'm a Christian, software developer | programmer | engineer, and entrepreneur.

I'm happily married to a Speech Pathologist. She helps old people, which I think is awesome that she is able to improve others' lives.

I am currently a grad school student at the University of Colorado in Boulder. I'm a dual-degree student, studying for both a Masters of Science in Computer Science and for a Masters of Business Administration (MBA).

Most recently, I've been doing a lot of OpenGL, Android, and iOS development.

In the realm of OpenGL, I've mostly been using C. I have several screencasts on Youtube (and I am still adding more) and have several projects on Github, including a Tower Defense game (code).

As far as Android goes, I have one app on the Market right now (Mortgage Calculator). The current project I'm working on is a workout tracker.

I've done varied work with iOS, but have nothing in the App Store right now. The majority of my work has been with Cocos2d, which is an excellent framework.

In the past, I've worked coding a lot of Ruby, Python, and JavaScript.

In the web world, I enjoy programming Rails, jQuery, Django and Sinatra. I'm sure there are several other great frameworks to check out, but alas I have not had the time to explore them yet.

Further in the past, I've done a ton of programming in Java, specifically J2EE. Glad to be away from J2EE, though I am now doing a good bit of Java with Android, which has been a lot of fun.

In the future, I really want to learn Clojure, Erlang, JRuby, Scala, and Haskell.
