Experience

I have about 5 years of professional experience designing commercial plumbing systems in 3d using AutoCAD. My experience is minimal with C/C++, Java, and Python, but I have coded dozens of VBA programs for several companies I have worked for. I was a Linux systems administrator for a small business network, as well, for about 3 years.

Here is a sample of my 3d CAD work, and the physical installation.

Interest -> BRL-CAD

I have been interested in contributing to an open source project for quite a while. I love coding, and I love 3d modeling, so it could not get much better than BRL-CAD. Everyone that I have talked with so far has been easy to communicate with, and very helpful. I appreciate that. I will stick around as long as I feel useful.
