About Me
I am a senior at University of California, Merced majoring in Computer Science with a minor in Engineering. I do everything on a Macbook using OSX, but I am fluent with Windows and Ubuntu Linux. I am a skilled programmer with knowledge in the following languages:

HTML PHP ColdFusion MySQL Pascal

C++ Java Visual Basic Matlab

I am currently doing research with Professor Evan Heit. My role in the research is to program various cognitive tests in Visual Basic and Pascal to be run on the computers in his lab. My name was mentioned in some of his freely available research publications, including:

• Modeling the Effects of Argument Length and Validity on Inductive and Deductive Reasoning
• Predicting Reasoning from Visual Memory
• Modeling Two Kinds of Reasoning

In addition to the research that I am doing with Evan Heit, I am also a student web developer for the Information Technology department. My largest web project with IT has been the conversion of a University of California, Berkeley application to make it Open Source. This project can be followed at the publicly accessible code repository http://collab.ucmerced.edu. Other projects with IT include the development of a registration system for new students who plan on attending orientation, upgrading the student / faculty online contact directory, and the development of a registration system for students who would like to apply for graduate school at UC Merced.
