Fall 2012
I'm currently a software engineer at Kaseya. I have over 7 years of experience in the field and have loved every minute of it. My personal project as part of the Discovery lab a Bioloid remotely controlled via infra-red or a PC serial connection. The user would use the control software developed by me in VB.NET that received video input from an IP Camera mounted on the Bioloids Head. The software also allowed the user to control the movement of the Bioloid.
