All Hands Active - Hackerspace in Ann Arbor, MI



I built the website for a hackerspace that is starting in Ann Arbor around November 2009. Which I am also a member of.  The group is meant to build and make various types of things, such as robots, circuits, etc.

Check out the website here to get an idea of what goes on: http://allhandsactive.com

Trolltech Innovation Greenphone Grant

Trolltech is the sponsor of the Qtopia Greenphone Innovation Grant Program.  The intent of the program is to put Trolltech’s Greenphone, a Linux mobile development device open for unlimited software innovation, into the hands of top developers and have cutting edge, best of breed applications delivered.

My proposal for this grant was to post content to the Drupal content management system via the XML-RPC protocol. The device will post the content to Drupal over Bluetooth or Wireless Application Protocol (WAP).

I finished the project, you can read the report in the attached PDF below.

Google Summer of Code Student

I was a Google Summer of Code student. I worked on extending the case tracker module for the Drupal Content Management System.  The module consisted of user interface updates and adding various features. The module itself was to function as a project manager, where projects are created and given individual tasks (cases) to users within the system.  During this project I learned many various technologies such as the Drupal framework and it's API. Also I learned the jQuery library and various uses of AJAX. As well as how to collaborate on an open source project.

Project Seabase - Senior Design Project

The US Navy Seabase Senior Design project concerns itself with the design and fabrication of a scale version of a TG3637 ship crane used by the US Navy for at-sea
logistics operations.  The following will be a discussion of the project specifications and an explanation of the task to be completed by the Computer Science division of the project, the Platform division of the project, and the Scaled Crane division of the project.


The software team’s contribution to this project is to port some existing controller code from the C language into a software product called MATLAB.  The code will be used in a portion of the MATLAB software called Simulink. In simulink, simulations can be run without the hardware actually being attached. When the hardware is attached it has 6 inputs from a controller called the d-Space controller. The software is meant to dampen the swing of the payload. The code will handle the motion simulated by the Platform team and stabilize the payload on the scaled crane. The software is also designed to be scaled for the large crane.

This was a year long project. Below you can find the final report for the project as well as pictures of the final finished project.

Xbox Mod

This was a personal project in which a xbox was taken apart and a special chip was installed. The purpose of the chip was increase the functionality of the system by allowing movies to be played, networked, pictures to viewed, news, streaming video, internet radio, as well as run the linux operating system. The idea was to build this box for much cheaper then a conventional media box and can be configured to my specifications. See the attached photos to see examples of the xbox after modification.

Braincube Records


Braincube Records was an internet music promotion company. It was started by Anthony and his friend. Within 6 months they reached #3 promoter status of thousands on mp3.com, and reached #1 electronic station on mp3.com out of ten's of thousands of stations. They eventually sold the company due to mp3.com getting bought out by someone and changing their policies.
