Experience

+

+ I have been programming for nearly half a decade now. + I started programming in high school where I learned web development using HTML, CSS, + and some basic JavaScript. From there, I started to learn software development basics + using Java. Since then, I have learned to love + Go and have dipped my feet into the water of countless + programming languages. +

+

+ In the past three years, I have moved from using Window to + Linux + exclusively. I have used countless distributions ranging from Ubuntu to Arch Linux, but I + have settled on NixOS as my daily driver. During this + journey I developed a "need for speed" and this lead to me to + Neovim. Inspired by + The Primeagen, I have developed a love for developer toolchain development and have been building + many small Neovim plugins to help me in my day-to-day life as a developer. +

In 2023, + following a hack at the previous data hosting company, I was tasked with developing a + new data hosting solution. I developed a custom solution using Go and host it on an on + site Linux server. Implementing a strong partial and complete backup system and + RAID 10 + storage, I was able to ensure that the data is safe and secure. This solution has been in + use since 2024 and has been a great success. +

+

+ While working on the data hosting solution, I developed an interest in server management + and have since been managing the company's server, as well as my own + personal server. Both servers run Ubuntu Server and can be accessed remotely and securely using SSH + keys. This has been a great learning experience and has helped me to develop a strong + understanding of server management and the Linux kernel. +

+

+ In September of 2023, I was hired by the + Backcountry Horsemen of California + + to rebuild their website. They wanted a website that was modeled after their previous site + from the 90's. I developed a new website using raw HTML and TailwindCSS because there was + no need for anything fancy for a static website. Plus, I did not have access to their server, + just an FTP portal to upload the files. The website was complete in April of 2024 and has + since been in use. This opportunity was a great learning experience and helped me to realize + that I do not want to be a front-end web developer. +

+

+ My most recent endeavor is a research project sponsored by Embry Riddle. I am working + with + Dr. McNeill + to create an Acoustic Drone Detection Sensor Network. + Using just sound, we are able to detect drones with a nearly 95% accuracy rate. My + portion of this project is the network infrastructure. I have developed an + Internet of Things (IoT) network that connects all of + the sensors between a gateway. Any data collected by the sensors is sent to AWS where it + is processed and then stored locally on a server. This project has been an amazing experience + and has helped me to develop a strong understanding of IoT networks and the AWS ecosystem. + Furthermore, it has opened my eyes to the world of research and brought me close to many + amazing people.
