My first project to utilize the USU Django infrastructure was an online voting application that students would use to elect the University’s student body officers.
This was a relatively simple project, but a good showcase of my methods for simple, intuitive user interface design with an emphasis on accessibility—all prototyped, designed, and implemented rapidly to meet a deadline.
I was the technical and project lead over the open source, in-house re-creation of USU’s network registration stack. This included a bottom-up replacement of Utah State University’s DNS, DHCP, IP address management, and computer registration infrastructure.
Accomplishing this was my first professional opportunity to be over such a challenging and multifaceted problem that affected tens of thousands of people.
Welcome to the chronicle of my professional work, topped with a dash of personal projects. Feel free to contact me; I am always looking for new opportunities and to meet new people.
