By day, I'm a software engineer at Google.

I currently work for engEDU, where I help build the platforms used by initiatives like CS First, Applied Digital Skills, and various internal programs.

Previously, I was the tech lead of a team within Google Maps. Here are some articles about projects I've been involved in:

• New ways to support Black-owned businesses
• Update your Business Profile on Google Maps and Search
• COVID-19: How we're continuing to help
• Adding “LGBTQ-friendly” and “Transgender Safe Space” attributes on Google My Business
• How to Get a Business on Google Before it Opens to the Public
• You can now add your business description in Google My Business

I also helped run Software Product Sprint (formerly called CodeU) by writing the curriculum and projects that the program used from 2017 - 2022.

SPS is currently on hiatus, but you can find more info in these articles written by former participants:

• My Summer in the Google CodeU Engineering Program
• The Secret Behind Google’s CodeU
• 3 Things I Learned from Google CodeU
• Attending the Google Student Retreat 2018

By night, I'm an adjunct professor at Millersville University.

I post all of my class content online, and I'd love to connect with other teachers who want to reuse it in their own classrooms.

By later night, I post coding tutorials at HappyCoding.io!

The tutorials start with the fundamentals in Processing and p5.js, and go through more advanced topics including Java, web development, server-side coding, Google Cloud, Android, and libGDX.

Come say hi on the forum!

I also sporadically post random thoughts to my blog. Here are a few of my favorites:

• Checking My Privilege
• Ten Lessons from "Senior" Software Engineering
• Ludum Memories
• Locus of Control and Learned Helplessness in Coding
• Ten Years of Coding on the Internet
• The Subjective Side of Code
• The Quadrilateral of Creativity
• The Power of Boredom

On Stack Overflow I mostly lurk in various Processing tags. I believe in helping people through the process of solving their own problems.

Here are some fun posts:

• Different sorting algorithms fail on large arrays
• How can I avoid this corruption on depth-sorted semi-transparent objects?
• p5.js code doesn't throw errors, but won't load on mouse click
• Drawing a Line from an Origin to a Destination in Processing
• Processing.js HashMap
• Running background in P5
• How do I resize a drawing in a processing applet?
• Generate a grid of adjacent points
• Circle and Rectangle collision
• How to determine rotation of 2 arm segments based on target point?

And some other random nerdiness:

• Why does Superman go to war in "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns"?
• Why can Bubbles blush?
• Are the Borg a species?
• Why are there two #1s of The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl less than a year apart?
• Are there any other episodes of Star Trek that deal with mental health?

Sometimes I take pictures.

Here's my full resume.

At this point in my career, I'm not really interested in a traditional software engineering role. I'm more interested in finding a job that aligns with my personal values and contains a mix of coding / building, writing curriculum content, and working directly with students and / or teachers.

If you're recruiting for a position like that, GET AT ME.
