Bio:

Jason is a recent graduate of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. He graduated in December of 2020 with a master's degree in Electrical Engineering. His primary academic interests included IC design and layout, software development, and a little bit of communications/EM. In the past he worked as a software engineer in the nuclear medicine industry and now seeks to become a full time engineer.

While at UNLV Jason was able to participate in various IC design projects. For Senior Design a simple CPU, complete with SRAM memory, basic arithmetic (but no multiplication), and I/O functions was developed with the Cadence Virtuoso software. A PCB test board was also designed to test this chip. (Project info can be found on the cadence page: project report, design files, readme.) Other projects include layout of a simple (modified) SPI interface as a research assistant and design, layout, and testing of a 6-bit current-mode ADC as a Thesis project.

He has extensive experience in software engineering as well and has programmed as a hobby and professionally for over ten years. Languages include C++, C#, MySQL, Python, Lua, and a smattering of web technologies (HTML, Javascript, CSS, PHP). He enjoys setting up web servers for his personal projects and continues to learn new things in Unreal Engine 4.

Below is a simple arcade game that I programmed to learn Javascript and HTML5. A version for mobile devices is available here. A fullscreen desktop version is available here. Can you reach 100,000 score on Normal difficulty?

Hints: Powerup bonuses come in three types and except for the first two will cycle to a different powerup every few seconds. Yellow will upgrade your cannon, which is effective against both ground and air targets. Blue will upgrade your health and shield regeneration. Red will give you homing missiles. Each of the three categories can be upgraded four times. Choose your upgrades wisely! Your shields regenerate much faster when you are not firing. Use this fact to regain lost hitpoints during pauses in the action.
