Atomic Spin Blog
Before coming to Atomic Object, I participated in several independent research and case studies at GVSU, including the development of an application for non-visual web browsing with Dr. Robert Adams. Additionally, I spent a year working for the Institutional Marketing department at GVSU developing web applications. During my time working there I gained experience in ColdFusion, JavaScript, CSS, Ajax, and SQL.
I joined AO in September of 2005 as an intern, where I learned how to actually develop software professionally. During that time I gained experience in Test Driven Development, Agile project management, and a fervor for developing ridiculously good software.
Since becoming fully fledged atom in May of 2006, I have been apart of many different projects using a diverse set of technologies and languages. Most recently, I have worked on PersonalDesigner, an application that allows a person to virtually paint their room. Before that I worked on several projects for Chrysler, including an application that is similar to Wire Shark which captures data from a CAN Bus (Vehicle Network). This helped diagnostic engineers to better troubleshoot problems on a vehicle.
Aside from being proficient in many different languages. I personally enjoy programming in Ruby, JRuby and dabbling in Objective C whenever I find an excuse to make a Cocoa application.
Recently I have become interested in iPhone development. In my spare time I have created several different iPhone applications. At some point time I hope to distribute at least one to the iTunes App Store.
I have had professional development experience with the iPhone. Atomic Object completed an iPod Touch Application that communicated with and responded to commands from a microcontroller on a vehicle buck. The iPod application had over 190 tests, was written using Presenter First development style, and was fully integrated with our continuous integration system.
When I am not glued to my computer screen you can probably find me tracking professional and college sports in Michigan (even the Lions). Besides my healthy addiction to sports I enjoy running and weight lifting whenever I get a chance.
I contributed to the following project(s): I developed the following libraries:
