You know, stuff that happened “a while ago” ;)

Last Exile Projects
2005 — 2008
  Dedicated to the greatest anime series I know ;)
  
 Collected below are various projects related to this excellent animated series. . . .

NCodeX; open source project
16 September 2007 — 2 March 2008
  .NET Code Generation through XAML
  
 I’ve been using C# for quite a few years now, and have developed a sort of resentment for some of its new features. Mind you, not in the sense that the features are bad, but that they do not go far enough :) . . .

Warb Game Engine; developer
December 2005 — February 2008
  Implementing internals for a .NET game engine.
  
 Soon after starting graduate school at UT, way back at the end of 2005, my long-time friend coerced me into working on a little game engine project he had just started :) . . .

National Instruments; Measurement Studio internship
June 2006 — August 2006
  Interesting internship with an Austin-based company.
  
 Over the summer I had the opportunity to intern at the Austin-based company National Instruments. I worked in the Measurement Studio division and was placed in charge of adding a new feature to the graphs: error bands (which is, by the way, the most awesomest feature of that release ;P). . . .

Sudoku Solver; personal project
29 July 2005 — 17 August 2005
  A simple solver for Sudoku puzzles.
  
 Sudoku is basically a crossword puzzle with numbers. The goal is to get the numbers one through nine to appear once in each row, column, and 3x3 square on the 9x9 grid. After filling out one row in the first puzzle that I worked on, I thought “Why am I doing this completely mechanical process by hand?” This is the result ;) . . .

Genetic Programming Engine; project lead
August 2004 — June 2005
  Dynamically generating simple, runnable programs.
  
 Genetic Programming uses the ideas behind evolution to build working programs from basic operations. This engine is meant to be an extensible framework that will allow users to choose between problems, mutation and crossover methods, population selection methods, and numerous other options at run time. . . .

CALIsys Summer Project; programmer
May 2003 — August 2003
  Interactive student lab software.
  
 CALIsys (which I believe stands for “Computer Aided Laboratory Instruction system”) was a project I worked on in its early stages during the summer of 2003. The goal of the project was to come up with a program that allowed engineering students to put a lab together virtually on the computer, and then to take readings once they connected the physical lab equipment together. . . .

Distributed Robotics; lab assistant
February 2003 — August 2003
  Robots forming grids through local observations.
  
 Back in early 2003, I started looking for some work to do over the summer and found out about some interesting research being conducted by one of my teachers. He was working on self-organizing systems where a large number of individuals can organize themselves through local, independent observations, rather than using a system of coordinated, large-scale communications. . . .

Ice Breaker; first project
June 1999 ~ December 2002
  Gradebook application.
  
 Ice Breaker was a rather complex gradebook management program. It allowed teachers to keep track of both classes and students, and for students to look at their own grades. Unfortunately, a complete lack of planning led to the project’s untimely demise ;) . . .
