Statement

I am currently working as a Software Developer for Tag Creative Studio, an awesome web design/dev firm in Seattle! I am currently studying Python & Django through the UW, on my own, and as part of my job. I'm interested in networking with others in the field!

Web Presence

• Github.com/pconerly
• Project Euler

  description

  From their website: "Project Euler is a series of challenging mathematical/computer programming problems that will require more than just mathematical insights to solve. Although mathematics will help you arrive at elegant and efficient methods, the use of a computer and programming skills will be required to solve most problems." The image below shows how many I've solved!

  

My Projects

• IMography

  description

  Short for "Instant-Message-ography". Users can upload their AIM (Aol Instant Messenger) log files and get a graph of the words exchange per day. I was inspired to do this by my own logs -over four years worth- which I wanted meta-data from. An example follows (more detail on this example):

• Development server for Internet Programming in Python class

  description

  This server will usually not be running since it is only a development server. When it is up, it will have small, dynamic and probably silly projects on it.

Background

In May of 2009 I graduated from Worcester Polytechnic Institute with a B.S. in Biochemistry (with Honors and with a minor in Entrepreneurship). In early 2010 I worked at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Dr. Shou's lab. I had the opportunity to program with R (the statistical language) and LabView (to automate a microscope). I hadn't programmed in some years, and I was reminded how much fun it was! I will always love biology, but I decided to pursue computer science as a career.

Since then I left the 'Hutch' and was contracting at Google with their Maps team. I provided internal tech support, which includes tracking and reporting bugs to the software engineers.

In Februrary 2011 I got fierce position at Tag Creative Studio and am ramping up my skills there!

The UW Professional & Continuing Education department provides Certification in Python programming which I am enrolled in.
