University Projects

Built a RESTful API for an app that found free time for a group using their Google/Apple Calendars.
Backend was hosted on AWS, built with Flask/Python 3, with a corresponding mobile app built in Android.

The goal of this program was to scan emails for Confidential information before being sent, to alert the sender and help fight data leaks.
Developed for ASRC Federal Mission Solutions, using Agile Scrum methodology.
Used Java, Apache Lucene, BCrypt, SHA-2 Encryption, RSA Encryption, MySQL, Pandoc, and a bit of Scala.
“Software Engineering I”, 2016

Built an Android application to control & communicate with a Lego NXT robot, so it could deliver mail in an office setting.
Gave it a destination over Bluetooth using the Android App and let it drive there on its own, navigating with a compass and a set of known coordinates.
Used LeJOS, a small JVM designed for the Lego NXT brick to program the robot.
This project was for the course “Topics in Mobile Programming”, Spring 2016

Built a system in Python 3/Django to aggregate marketing email event data, with the goal of making SES events searchable and presentable in a way similar to SendGrid.
Email requests originated from a MailWizz server, integrated with AWS SES, SendGrid, MailChimp, etc. for the actual sending.
JSON events from email sender webhooks were funneled to a queue in AWS SQS which triggered a Lambda function which would process them and extract relevant metadata.
System processed upwards of 2 million emails a month, with roughly 10 million plus individual events, and generated statistics broken down by sending domain and subdomain, and across sending services (e.example.com vs. em.example.com, split between SES and SendGrid).
Aggregating all of this metadata allowed team to view sending behavior on a customer by customer basis, rather than only as a whole.
Excluding the SQL server for storage, the entire event processing system was hosted serverlessly, and cost less than $1/day.
