Summary
-------

I am a skilled developer of many trades, from web development to desktop development, I have covered quite a few areas.  I am
a Microsoft Certified Professional, a Microsoft Student Insider, and an Umbraco Certified Developer.  In addition, I have a
prolific portfolio of open-source projects, and contribute my skills to several open communities.  However, this does not get
in the way of my ability to write proprietary code.  I was born in 1993 (currently 18 years old), and have earned my diploma
from Pine Creek High School in Colorado Springs.

Work Experience
---------------

**DSoft Technology:**

My most recent employer is DSoft Technology, a company that specialized in government contracts as well as work in the private
sector.  While at DSoft, I was required to work with ASP.NET and Umbraco, and I built a number of websites from the ground-up,
mostly powered by Umbraco.  I was also required to perform several IT tasks, helping to maintain the infrastructure of the
company.  This task included work maintaining Windows Server 2005 and 2008 servers, as well as a number of Linux servers.  I
was also required to work with Microsoft SQL Server 2008 on many occasions.  Additionally, I was responsible for most of the
development on their website, http://dsoft-tech.com.  I spent 10 months with DSoft.

**Colorado Technology Consultants**:

I worked for a time with Colorado Technology Consultants, employing my skills with ASP.NET MVC 3, Windows Phone 7, and
Silverlight 2+.  I was tasked with making a number of Windows Phone 7 applications, including the free DishOnIt application,
which was featured in the Windows Phone 7 Marketplace on a number of occasions.  I also was a technical editor for the
*Silverlight 3 Jumpstart* book by David Yack during my time there.  I spent about one year with CTC.

Open Source
-----------

I also contribute to a number of open-source projects.  You may view many of them on my GitHub account, under the name
[SirCmpwn](https://github.com/SirCmpwn).  Nearly all of my projects are cross-platform, running on Windows, Linux, and
Mac OS X.  Here's some information about those projects:

**LibMinecraft:**

LibMinecraft is a library written in C# that provides a number of services focusing on the game Minecraft.  It features a
completely custom implementaiton of the client and server protocols, as well as code to mimic the function of the official
software.  It has advanced features such as network load balancing, complex cellular autonoma, and optimized saving of
in-game worlds in the Anvil format.  It also vastly improves upon the function of the official software, using a fraction
of the bandwidth, a fraction of the memory, and runs much faster.  I am the lead developer of the project, and have worked
on it with a team whose numbers frequently change from 3 to 12 developers.  You may find more information about LibMinecraft
[here](http://libminecraft.github.com/).

**Organic Assembler:**

Organic is an assembler for the DCPU-16 architecture.  It provides many advanced features that no other DCPU-16 assembler
can match, as of May 3rd, 2012, such as detailed listing output, full expression evalulation, macro support, plugins,
instruction literals, and relative addressing.  Its sister project is Inorganic, which is a disassembler for DCPU-16.  I
am the only developer on these projects, and add user-requested features and fix user-supplied bugs as needed.  You may
find more information on Organic [here](https://github.com/SirCmpwn/organic), and Inorganic
[here](https://github.com/SirCmpwn/inorganic).

**SMProxy:**

SMProxy is one of two up-to-date projects that offer a proxy service for Minecraft.  It is a debugging tool, and may be used
to learn more about the Minecraft protocol.  It is targeted at those who wish to learn more about the protocol and discover
why their own software is misbehaving.  SMProxy offers lots of customization, providing the ability to control logging to
isolate issues, as well as prevent certain packets from being transferred, and to override or create new packets.  You may
also use it to provide a virtual hosting solution.  It also provides the ability to do more fine-grained customization with
context-sensitive Lua scripts.  You can also use SMProxy to profile your software, recieving detailed per-packet information
about timing and size.  More information about SMProxy can be found [here](https://github.com/SirCmpwn/SMProxy).
