ACADEMIC EXPERIENCE
MASTER OF SOFTWARE ENGINEERING , 2012 - GPA 3.75

Auburn University, Auburn, Alabama Masters Project: I developed a mobile application that performed predictive maintenance for a motor vehicle. The application utilized a Bluetooth connection to the vehicles on-board computer to acquire the vehicles performance data. The application would then map the vehicles performance patterns and monitor the real time data for inconsistencies that could demonstrate the need for future maintenance.
