Although I have a passion for software and engineering in general, many of these projects showcase some of my other interests including volunteer work, gardening, reading, and photography.
RVA Taco Festival
I am the founder and principal organizer of the RVA Taco Festival which is a benefit for Safe Harbor, a local non-profit for which I serve on the Board of Directors.
Garden
I’ve been gardening at home for many years, starting with hot peppers in containers on my old apartment balcony to now a full backyard with multiple types of vegetables and flowers.
Safe Bars RVA
Safe Bars RVA is a program of Safe Harbor which trains service industry staff to recognize and respond to sexual harassment, aggression, and violence. They offer trainings free of charge to restaurants and bars in the Richmond, VA area. I volunteered to build them a small website with a custom Ruby on Rails CMS.
Sorting Algorithms in Ruby
A few years back I decided to write examples for a few well-known, and not-so-well-known, sorting algorithms in my favorite programming language.
