I'm a passionate Software Engineer from Boise, ID. I really enjoy programming and software development, specifically in the domain of CyberSecurity.

I attended Boise State University and graduated with my B.S. in Games, Interactive Media, and Mobile (GIMM) in December 2021. In my time at Boise State, I worked on the GIMM development team where I developed multiple applications. (More about those below!) Currently, I work as a Software Engineer full-time and I am working on personal projects and software consulting after work.

My primary side project at the moment is called Keystroke Dynamics. The purpose is to improve Identity security with ML, by training the model to identify the user by subconscious habits with their typing and session data - Without the use of personally identifiable information (PII)

When I need a break from the stress of coding, I love to learn more about all sorts of technology and spend time with my family.

An Augmented Reality Game to teach kids handwriting. An award-winning application.

Our team was challenged to design an application to help children with Autism learn English handwriting. I spent a lot of time researching Autism and applying that knowledge to design gameplay that turned out to have a profound impact on them, as well as neurotypical students. Designing the system to include solutions for positive reinforcement learning, proper hand posture, and identifying areas that required additional focus and repetitions.

While on this project, I spearheaded the development of the partner website abcstories.org[https://abcstories.org/]

• Website Deployment - AWS EC2 server of a monolith architecture website, NodeJS, load balancing, and security groups.
• Authentication/Authorization, for parents and teachers to log in and see a list of children who they have authority to access.
• Applied Systems to prevent XSS and Injection attacks
• Created and configured a Firebase NoSQL database for storing student progress.
• Audited and adjusted for FERPA Compliance
• Backend System design for our data dashboard. Identifying key metrics of student performance and providing an API for our website to display the data.
