About
Eventually I might put a long bio here, but until then please refer to my Pedlr profile for more information.
I realized I should have a list of resume-like activities so that I can remember them all. This page on my personal blog seems like an appropriate spot.

- Released CollegeInfoDesk (scheduling, professor-evaluations, book-exchange and price-comparison tool) in fall of 2005

- Presenter in the University of Pittsburgh School of Pharmacy’s Lunch-and-Learn series. Discussion focused on SiloSync and I’ve posted a recap of the event which includes the slide-deck (May 14, 2008)
It should be noted that I’ve tried to keep this list fairly formal, so I’ve omitted several product launches (such as CNIG and JBIG in winter of 2005-2006), haven’t mentioned many side-projects such as Codeaholics (my release ground for many projects), Final Salvation (RTS Game Engine written in 10 weeks using only C++/SDL, included solid AI, a windowing system, and an advanced menu-system), Connor Rocks (safe-for-work version of doItLater), AtlasLyrics (different front-end for LyricWiki content), and numerous others. There are dozens more projects not listed even in this footer, but this page is supposed to be resume-like so it has been drastically shortened.
