Developed a UI testing framework using JDBC, Selenium, TestNG, and ExtentReports. The framework was used to seek client-facing bugs in the user acceptance testing environment prior to a release into production. Created an API-testing framework which populated a UAT database by making requests to webservice. The framework was used for API and performance testing.
Achieved bachelor of science in Computer science and minor in Mathematics. Completed 28 courses in some variation of computer science, mathematics, or physics. Employed as a computer science teaching assistant. Volunteer peer tutor during off hours.
The purpose of this research was to develop an evolutionary algorithm that manipulated a laser beam by imposing adaptations in an optical environment. In the Biophotonic Imaging Laboratory, microbes are imaged for tissue samples and cellular analysis. With the current imaging technique, a high intensity emission can destroy the specimen and resulting image.
A publication in several science journals were earned as a result of this work. The purpose of the research was to implement an end-to-end system capable of recognizing and alerting for medical conditions in home-care patients. By instrumenting patients to biomedical equipment, biosignals can be measured, stored, and interpolated. The goal was to identify precursor warnings of potentially fatal afflictions through the interpolated data and conditionally send alerts.
Apart from being a web developer, I enjoy most of my time being outdoors. I am avid, but novice, skateboarder. During the warmer months in Delaware, I enjoy going to the beach.
When forced indoors, I urge friends to come over for deep intellectual debate.
