About Me


I'm a software engineer primarily interested in programming. C++ and C# are my most used languages. My fields of interest include computer graphics, mobile app development, computational biology, biomedical visualization, biomedical engineering, and machine learning.

For my master's thesis I explored something new and at the time, out of my comfort zone! Check it out: Prediction of Treatment Target for Ventricular Tachycardia using Multi-Task Machine Learning

Dr. Joe Geigel

Rochester Institute of Technology

September 2014 - September 2015

Research Assistant

Contributor to the publication that stemmed from this research project: "Dynamic Functional Assessment of Hand Motion Using an Animation Glove: The Effect of Stenosing Tenosynovitis." Oct 2017.
Helped run the CyberGlove II for capturing joint velocities and range of motion of hands, to treat carpal tunnel syndrome and trigger finger, using Qt.
Wrote scripts as required to run and record the CyberGlove MoCap software.
Interacted with the doctors from University of Rochester and CyberGlove to decide requirements and feasibility. (Qt, C++, Python)

Dr. Joe Geigel

Rochester Institute of Technology

January 2015 - May 2015

Research Assistant

Attempt to integrate Faceshift Studio (now discontinued) and The Eye Tribe to create real time mapping of facial features and eye gaze using virtual world clients. Setting up OpenSimulator and Firestorm.
Worked with a modeler (Dr. Marla Schweppe) to identify and get the correct blendshapes for importing into Unity 3D.
A part of this project was used at the Rochester Street Light Festival. An actor sat in front of a sensor, whose facial features controlled a custom model projected on the face of a building. (Video or pictures available upon request)
