The origin of this mod-plugin for Minecraft came from too many hours of playing Minecraft with my two young boys. Coming from an Xbox Live background, I saw a need for social tools within Minecraft for which there were none. I did the original database and back-end coding and brought in help to do the front end design and development of the very popular FriendzForMinecraft mod plugin. ๐๐๐ฒ ๐
๐๐๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐ฌ: - Friend Locator: Enabled players to find friends within the Minecraft world, solving the issue of server sharding where players couldn't find which server their friends were on. - Social Tools: Introduced features like sharing pictures, commenting, and liking, similar to Instagram. - Persistent Chat: Implemented persistent chat functionalities to maintain communication even when players were not online. ๐๐จ๐ฌ๐๐๐๐ญ๐๐ก๐๐ซ
This application originated from a need to improve medication adherence for my dad dealing with Parkinson's, ensuring timely medication intake and reducing the risk of missed doses which would lead to imbalance, falls and further injury. Also substantially improved his sense of autonomy on managing his complex medication schedule. I initiated and led the original coding for the DoseWatcher back-end databases and business logic and brought in a team to help with establishing the end-user experience over web app, iPhone/iPad native app, email and SMS channels. ๐๐๐ฒ ๐
๐๐๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐ฌ: - Medication Reminders: Implemented automated reminders for patients to take their medications on time, enhancing adherence. - Schedule Management: Developed features to create, adjust, and track medication schedules, providing flexibility for changes in treatment plans. - User Notifications: Enabled notifications and alerts for missed doses, ensuring that patients and caregivers are informed promptly.

University of WyomingSystems and Network Engineer, Developer
Jan. 1997 - Dec. 1998While pursuing my graduate studies in Geophysics and Computer Science at the University of Wyoming, I took on several delightfully distracting projects. I was responsible for the complete technical design, purchase, and setup of Microsoft PC, Silicon Graphics, and Apple student labs, professor offices, and networking infrastructure for a new science building. I also designed and developed an online classroom system for the Geology Sciences program, enabling online access to course outlines, assignments, quizzes, grades, and notes. Additionally, I created the Aleutian Arc Data System (AADS), a geospatial data sharing platform that allowed researchers to upload and share photos, maps, geochemical data, and images of thin sections, all with latitude and longitudinal data, facilitating collaboration among geochemists versus the slow process of sharing a few percent of the very expensive NSF-funded data through print publications.
