Biography

I am currently employed at the University of Waterloo where I work for the Housing and Residences department. I am currently the Manager, Development Services which designs and creates the web applications for the entire department. We are currently working on many projects both internal and campus wide.

In my off-time I work on courses for a Masters degree in Computer Science. My courses are focused on Computer Graphics and Artificial Intelligence and should be completed by December 2010. My advisor is currently Dr. Chrysanne DiMarco.

I received a bachelors degree in Computer Science from Brock University in 2003. During my time at Brock I specialized in Artificial Intelligence by taking an option in Intelligent Systems.

Computer Graphics has fascinated me for a long time. I grew up with computer games and always wondered how it was done. My first 3D application was written in visual basic with 2D lines (it even had perspective projection). I spent a lot of time in high school trying to understand algebra and geometry so I could improve but once I hit university I found OpenGL and the rest is history. In my last two years of undergraduate I spent my time on projects that mixed Computer Graphics with Artificial Intelligence. I owe a lot to Dr. Brian J. Ross of Brock for helping me with papers, sending me to conferences, and giving me the great opportunities that I enjoyed.
