Masters of Science in Computer Science and Software Engineering

In September 2018 I started working on my Masters in Computer Science at the University of Washington, Bothell. After 2 years of hard work, dedication, and more than a few late nights, I graduated in June 2020 with a GPA of 3.65.

My Master’s Thesis, “Augmented Space Library 2: A Network Infrastructure for Collaborative Cross Reality Applications” focused on creating a network SDK for the Unity game engine. It was built using AWS GameLift Realtime as its back-end service and allowed its users to create cross reality (AR/VR) applications inside of Unity. You can find my Master’s thesis on ProQuest (Order No. 28001429), but you can also find it here. You can find the project files and documentation here.

Some of my favorite classes from my time at UWB are listed below:

  • Advanced 3D Graphics

  • Machine Learning

  • High Performance Computing

  • Algorithm Analysis

  • Independent Study - Game Design

Bachelor of Science in Computer Science

In August 2014 I officially started my path towards a future in Computer Science and programming by attending Northwest Nazarene University. Four years later, two years of which I was a research assistant for the FireMAP project, and one year as a software engineer intern at a local company, I graduated with a GPA of 3.826.

For my senior capstone project I created a web page that would allow users to upload a image they wished to use as training data for various pixel-based machine learning algorithms. The application would allow users to label specific pixels or regions of pixels from that image and then extract that information in a form that FireMAP’s machine learning algorithms could utilize. My senior thesis paper, with code, can be found here. Unfortunately, the application cannot be viewed currently due to local servers at NNU never going online before I graduated (the application however is still being used, just in a local, offline manner).

Some of my favorite classes from my time at NNU are listed below:

  • Data Structures

  • Machine Learning/Data Mining

  • Being Human: Theology/Psychology Reflections

  • Science and Science Fiction

  • Embedded Systems

  • Linear Algebra

  • Networks/Data Communication
