| EXPERIENCE |
|
BUILDING TECHNOLOGY LABORATORY - MIT Worked on a program which analyzes early-stage commercial building designs; the program projects heating, cooling, and lighting energy costs. The program also evaluates thermal comfort, daylighting scenarios, and natural ventilation scenarios. All results are returned as graphics; including bar graphs and 3D renderings. Work involved interface design, engineering (largely heat transfer related), server-side and client-side programming, and dynamic-image generation. 2001 - present TAGSENSE - Cambridge, MA Designed and prototyped a small parasitic power generator. 2002 LENK & ASSOCIATES - Watertown, MA Created a series of interface elements corresponding to generic one-dimensional, two-dimensional and miscellaneous fields within a database table. Also created a simple markup language which ideally would allow someone familiar only with HTML to define and assemble these elements into a fairly complex interfaces for making database queries. 1997 - 2001 WEBIVORE - Watertown, MA Designed and created educational web application. Included a search engine: sites were catalogued within a hierarchy of topics. Also included a collect engine: users could easily save images and text from sites, complete with automatic bibliographical references. Work involved graphic design, interface design, both server-side and client-side programming, database design. 1997 - 2001 XIT - Cambridge, MA Provided graphic design. Wrote and illustrated a set of instructions for a stowable fire escape ladder. 1997 Prof. Woody Flowers, MIT Home construction / improvement. Summer 1996 POLYMER MORPHOLOGY LABORATORY - MIT Polymer processing to fabricate materials with macroscopic anisotropic properties. Summer/Fall/Winter 1995 THE TECHLER DESIGN GROUP - Boston, MA Assisted with the remodelling of a restaurant. Work involved drawing up dimensions of existing structure, constructing perspectives, and rendering . Modelled a loft design. Winter 1994 |
