Used C, C++, SQLite, Visual Studio, Crossworks, and Accurev source control
I worked on a large team of junior and senior software engineers developing firmware for DeLorme's PN-Series handheld GPS units. I developed in C and C++ on embedded systems. I helped port SQLite for our unique system, and implement system-wide changes to integrate the new technology. I was tasked with designing and implementing GUI controls. I refactored and improved upon existing code to make performance goals. I gained good knowledge of Win32 programming. I was responsible for meeting deadlines and conducting benchmarks on new and existing code.
I started as a summer intern, but I was allowed to continue working at DeLorme remotely while I attended school. I was responsible for keeping track of my own hours and keeping my superiors and colleagues updated with my progress.

Helpplz.info is a personal project that I have been working on in my spare time since the beginning of 2010. The website is an emoticon library for the popular artists community, deviantart.com. Users can browse and search my website to find the emoticon they are looking for, copy the code, and use it anywhere on deviantart.com. This project showcases my talents for web design as well as my experience with PHP and MySQL databases. I gained a lot of experience in database design. I was responsible for building, maintaining, and backing up my database. I gained so much experience with web scraping and data gathering with regular expressions that it has become second nature.
I also worked one on one with users in an international community, developing new features and improving aesthetics and site layout. This gave me a great appreciation for doing a good job and making the user happy.

Steam is a popular video game content delivery service. Steam's software allows users to chat and interact with each other, and add each other as friends. One of my earliest efforts at a web application, Steam Friends for Facebook displays a user's Steam friends on his or her profile. The project was very poorly programmed, and I abandoned it very soon after I released it. Despite the lack of support or updates, the application remained functional up until Facebook changed their application types, even gaining popularity over time. The project is a testament to my progress since then, and it served as a good learning experience using a public API to program a web application.
Learned punctuality, customer service, teamwork, and speed and efficiency in a fast-paced workplace.
