About Me (Why I rock)

A brief history of Chuck & tech

When I was a child I was obsessed with trains and vacuum cleaners. In elementary school my grandma tried to teach me Photoshop. In seventh grade I started teaching myself HTML. Freshman year I started learning the basics of networking and BASH so I could run a Minecraft server on my sparkly new iMac. In the first half of high school I volunteered at Phoenix Children's Hospital and in the second half I taught robotics at The Waybright Academy. On top of that, I was active throughout the school as an officer of Firebird Robotics, the director of Firebird Word, and the design editor of Chaparral Ashes. I've been digging around in computers my whole life.

The Modern Chuck

I'm a Computer Science student and Hackathon winner at Arizona State University interested in the intersection of technology and art. I pride myself in taking a diverse set of interest and the resulting broad set of experiences. From editorial experience working to innovate the news at the State Press to random open source contributions in my free time, I do a lot.

This website is still an active development project, pls don't judge too harshly.

Desert Hacks '17

Virtual Keyality

A VR typing game.

The idea started as something of a joke, but after prototyping we realized that we stumbled upon a killer feature: when you're wearing the headset, you can't see your keyboard.

Volunteer Management Portal

A web app for nonprofits.

Opportunity Hack is a charity hackathon where hackers are paired with nonprofits to solve the real world problems they face. The Lost Our Home pet rescue needed a better way to track volunteers and encourage volunteers to keep coming back. Our solution revolved around easy to access scheduling and volunteer-hour leaderboards to encourage first time volunteers to return.
