About Me

I'm 23 and a recent graduate from Iowa State University with a major in Aerospace Engineering. I'm currently looking for a job in Computational Fluid Dynamics or Aerodynamics. I'm married and I have a dog, both of which I enjoy coming home to each day from my temporary job doing MS Access Database programming and system support.

My current homepage is here, yes it is a Google page, but I'm waiting on getting personal webspace until after I find a career. The site isn't fully completed since I keep thinking of other stuff that gets in the way.

Programming Languages

• Fortran 90 & 77

• Python (with GTK+)
• C++
• Bash Scripting
• Java

Interests

• Aerodynamics & Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)

• Wind Engineering

• 3D Visualization of PMARC-12 output (Currently using TecPlot)

• Solving problems with computers
• Aviation

Codes

• AutoKernel

  • Going to be an automatic kernel compiler

• Airfoil Generator

  • Written in Python and GTK+ from Glade ***Preview***

  • Will include NACA 4 & 5 Series airfoils, Biconvex airfoils, and the airfoil series I've developed

• Modifications to PyWireless

  • I have modified PyWireless.py found on kde-apps.org to include the wireless card's IP address. I used the IP address code from wifi-radar. I also fixed a bug, in my version that will fix signal strength over 100%

• I've used PyWireless.py as a basis for a CPU temperature monitor and an ACPI monitor that currently shows CPU temperature and battery charge percent. These can be found on my website.
