.NET Development at Lashback

LashBack, LLC, is a leader in email marketing compliance and intelligence space. I was responsible for maintaining the existing software to enable a desired customer experience. Some of my tasks included; improving backend systems to enhance performance, redesigning UI elements for a better user experience, and quickly resolving issues and bugs to maintain system stability. With my spare time I was allowed to create an Artificial Intelligent system that automates the process of categorizing emails.

Interactive Media Defined by McKendree

Interactive Media is typically associated with Interactive Media Design, however McKendree’s Interactive Media program was designed quite differently. There is a strong emphasis on artificial intelligence and computing graphics. To reinforce computer graphics physics is required and likewise for AI several programming classes are required. Our program is geared towards things such game design and virtual reality and things such as web design compliment the already developed skills.

Studying Jazz

I have been studing music and playing the sax since 2010. As a musician I have devoted myself to finding my own sound which is deeply rooted in jazz, but does its best not to ignore other genres. I play and write music with the goal of creating music that is entertaining with a lot of influences coming from funk, hip-hop and rap.
