A <Developer> and <Student> focused on automation and innovation
Hello! I'm Chad, a computer science student and software engineer who loves trying new things. Coding has interested me since I first heard about it, realizing I definitely had to pursue software development after my parents bought me "Computer Programming for Dummies" in 7th grade. I love to design and implement programs, fix things, work with people, and learn!
My career goals include a job that can allow me to push myself, coordinate with other people, and contribute to something impactful, all while fully utilizing my skills.

Here are some of my technical skills. Each one has a super accurate scientific rating based on my quantified experience level:
My most recent personal projects
Studio One File Finder is a .NET MAUI application for Windows and macOS that streamlines and automates the painful process of updating sample file locations in Studio One song files. Designed for audio producers who often face the frustrating issue of missing samples in several projects after reorganizing or moving folders containing samples or songs, this tool saves valuable creative time by ensuring all media pool and instrument samples are correctly located without manual intervention. File safety is buit-in, along with the option to safely revert changes made by this app, and the user interface has an intuitive design.

It simulates games and tests every possible move for each round, storing the results in a file, until the user stops the program. This file can then be interpreted to determine the best chance the player has at winning depending on their hand and the dealer's hand. I created this project because I love working with data and I wanted to test my abilities and see for myself how accurate the BlackJack "cheat sheets" are. This project was made with JavaScript running on Node.js.

This app is successfully integrated with the Kraken, ETrade, and TD Ameritrade APIs for connecting to real-time market and account data. I chose Electron for this because I wanted to learn this technology along with improve my JavaScript skills.

I'm currently working at Wavetronix as a Software Engineer Intern, where I primarily code in C#. It started as a full-time summer internship which evolved into an opportunity to stay on part-time through the school year. Working here allows me to improve my skills and develop new ones, such as:
During my time here I have been able to work on a variety of projects. My initial summer project was to integrate a data visualization tool into existing software, allowing traffic engineers to easily analyze and export crucial traffic data out in the field.

I am currently a junior at UVU pursuing a bachelor's degree in computer science. I came back to school for the spring 2022 semester after a two-year break, and since then I've achieved a 4.0 gpa all six semesters. I have been enjoying the projects and content in my classes along with making lifelong connections with my professors and classmates.
