SOFTWARE / HARDWARE PROJECTS
This is where I will showcase the most meaningful software related projects that I have either created, or use so much that I just have to share with you.
Raspberry Pi IR/RF Transmitter and Receiver - Linux/Nodejs APP
This is a project that combines a lot of open source projects mixed with some tweaking of my own. Essentially this little box is a control center for my whole home media receivers, Tvs, and output devices.
It allows for one tap operation of many different IR (Infrared) and RF (Radio Frequency) controlled devices.

CHOPPY COPTER - iOS GAME
Choppy Copter is an endless runner style of game, you go only as far as you can make it. In January of 2014 I had a lot of down time and decided that I wanted to pick up a new language, so I chose Objective-C. I had also never created a game before so I figured this would be a good opportunity to do so. Choppy Copter evolved from a fairly simple, one aircraft, 3 texture game, into a much more robust, dynamic, ever evolving system. Every time you play the game, it is going to be different, maybe easier, maybe more difficult, and you may get more beneficial power ups this round than the last. Head over to my production companies website to take a look at more detailed information about Choppy Copter.
VIDEO ORGANIZER - DESKTOP MEDIA ORGANIZER
Video organizer is the first open source project that I have ever created. It will take a digital media library (mainly movies), and organize them while also gathering meta data for each file. The need for this application arose when my own movie collection started to span more than one hard drive. At the time, I had a server with 3 drives full of movies, and when I wanted to check to see if I owned a movie, I would manually have to search each drive for the particular file. Video Organizer solved that problem by allowing you to import folders from multiple drives and display them in a simple list that is searchable. Since then, the functionality of Video Organizer has grown to encompass sorting, local databases, html indexes, movie trailers, and group file statistics. Check out the google code project page for Video Organizer and if you have a digital movie collection, download it and start organizing!
CYBERFLASHING - DESKTOP PHONE REPROGRAMMING
CyberFlashing is a desktop application that allows end users to change their phone carrier without having to go into a store. This is the first company that I worked for out of college and provided a great learning experience for me. This application was my introduction to the C# language and is what led me to using C# to create the Video Organizer application.
