Founder of Nusun and Nusun Solutions, LLC

As an advocate for open source software, and community development in general, I prefer to work with community-driven tools and technologies. I have extensive experience using LAMP stacks, and I am also very interested in Ruby, Java, and Python development. I believe that the Open Source model is crucial for the advancement of the general computing society, and I will always strive to learn from, and contribute to community-based projects.

I desire to work in a culture of quality test-driven development. Unit tests and proper object-oriented and/or service-oriented implementations are essential for reliable and flexible solutions. I excel at producing web applications that are adaptable and testable.

Description of Education at Rollins College

• BA Degree 2009 Computer Science

• BA Degree 2009 Music

• Full Tuition Scholarship recipient (merit based)

My college curriculum was focused primarily on math and object-oriented systems. I studied under an esteemed Rollins College Computer Science faculty. With Java as a teaching platform, Dr. Julie Carrington (University of Central Florida) provided the fundamental backbone of my Computer Science education by cultivating a comprehensive understanding of object-oriented programming, algorithms, design patterns, and languages. I also enjoyed several classes with Dr. Richard James (Florida Institute of Technology) on topics including networking, computer architecture, and operating systems. In addition, my experience with the mathematics department included classes with Dr. Mark Anderson (University of Virginia), Dr. Jay Yellen (Colorado State University), and Dr. J Douglas Child (University of Cincinnati) on topics such as Calculus, Statistics, Discrete Mathematics, and Computer Graphics. 

My education was supplemented by my pursuit of a second bachelor's degree in music. My studies at the music department were enriched by the teachings of Dr. John Sinclair (University of Missouri), Dr. Daniel Crozier (Peabody Conservatory of the Johns Hopkins University), and Dr. Edmund LeRoy (The Juilliard School). I graduated with both Music and Computer Science degrees in May 2009.
