Expertise

Projects that involve software development/implementation

Bio

I have worked in the tech industry for 5 years focusing on app development and data analysis for government agencies. I have a B.S. in Industrial and Systems Engineering that sparked my interest in solving problems through technology implementation. From automating mundane business processes for improved efficiencies to developing enterprise applications, I love identifying new ways to create an intersection between humans and emerging technologies. When I'm not helping clients improve their businesses I enjoy going to the beach with my wife and 3 year old goldendoodle, playing basketball and working out. As a lifelong learner I also try to stay informed on the latest technology trends and enrolling in bootcamps to gain a level of proficiency of those trends.

Project ideas

Project ideas are meant to help inspire student thinking about their own project. Students are in the driver seat of their research and are free to use any or none of the ideas shared by their mentors.

Developing a Consolidated Streaming Platform

Most "platform consolidation" apps are simply guide to what users can watch. This project will explore the fundamentals of developing a user friendly front-end application with a robust back-end that allows users to watch shows & movies directly from the consolidated platform without having to switch between streaming services. You will learn how to conduct market research and develop the foundations of an integrated app.
