A Software Template to Communicate App Privacy Behavior in Android
Columbus State University (CSU) - Honors College
2021
Conducted research under the supervision of CSU Faculty on the ability to create a template of Android code that allows developers to quickly and easily create a user interface displaying an app's privacy behavior using nothing more than standard Android libraries, providing a proof of concept for privacy UIs that can be implemented by developers who have limited resources to allocate to developing privacy in their apps. This work was published in the Columbus State University Honors College: Senior Theses, Fall 2020/Spring 2021.

Annotation-Guided Code Generation of In-App Privacy Notices
Carnegie Mellon University (CMU)
2021
Conducted research under the supervision of CMU PhD students and faculty on automatically generating privacy UIs for Android apps using Annotations. This work is to promote transparency and trust between developers and is an extension of the Coconut IDE plugin designed to improve privacy practices among Android developers. This work was published in the Proceedings of the ACM on Interactive, Mobile, Wearable and Ubiquitous Technologies (IMWUT), 2021, Vol. 5, No. 3.

Updating Inventory Movement and Control
Ankerpak
2019
Updated the scanning and warehouse management systems at Ankerpak in order to better control inventory and create more usable process flows for our warehouse team. These processes included receiving items into the facility, moving inventory around the warehouse, allocating certain inventory to orders, and picking the inventory from the shelves for preparation to ship. I was the head of this project, which involved research into proven methods and techniques, making proposals to management, purchasing new hardware, updating software rules and automation, and training staff members on new procedures.
