Past Work:



My interest in computers is fairly general, so I have done a lot of work in different areas. However, here are samples of work I have done on the web.


www.ea.com

While employed at EA, I worked on the EA graphics library (EAGL). EAGL is a cross-platform graphics library for realtime graphics. Many EA titles for the PS2, XBox, Gamecube and PC use the EAGL library to render their incredible 3D graphics. Primarily, I worked on the PC runtime for the graphics library. However, I also worked on portions of the graphics pipeline used to pre-compile art assets. A portion of my job involved trouble shooting and assisting game teams that were using EAGL. I implemented several graphical effects needed by game teams for fixed function and programmable graphics hardware.

iAnywhere Solutions is a division of Sybase. They specialize in creating software for business. The focus on providing mobile and remote access to databases and database applications.

During my first work term at Sybase I was a developer for the database engine team. I was responsible for researching algorithms that could be used to solve the index selection problem.

During my second term I joined the wireless development team. I implemented a Java Messaging Service (JMS) component that will allow the upcoming messaging software to send text messages to cell phones and pagers via a third party network. I also implemented a generic test suite for Sybase's JMS implementations.


www.okino.com

Okino Computer Graphics is a market leader for 3D file format conversion and rendering software. While at Okino I helped develop one of the import/export converter modules and made architectural changes to Okino's software toolkit that greatly increased the performance of Okino's products. I also performed cross platform GUI development using the wxWindow toolkit.


www.ocl.net

This was by far my largest project on the web. I worked on a team of HTML designers to make a website for the oxford county library. All of us are quite proud of the site. All of the HTML coding we did was with generic text editors. (no wimpy Frontpage for us ;P ) I did most of the design for the navigation bars and the SSI (Server Side Includes) used to give the site a consistent look. I also wrote all of the perl scripts to handle the guestbooks, the calendar and some other small scripts to maintain the site. Take a look at the site and don't forget to give the webmaster some feedback in the guestbook.


A.F.P.

This was my first professional webpage on the net. I can't take credit for writing the content on the site, but I did all of the design for the pages. Over time I have made modifications and updates to maintain the website.

Update: Unfortunately, the website I wrote has since been replaced.
