Background

About Daniel Menard

I am a college graduate of Clark University with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and English. My interests in Computer Science include Artificial Intelligence, Graphics, General Programming (for instance I have taken courses in Operating Systems, Compilers and an online course on programming with Cuda) and Game Design. In my time programming at Clark and my time in industry I have written several, varied projects with over lines of code. These projects range from implementing a scheme interpreter using C, creating a Java simulation of Discrete Wavelet Transform from scratch, manipulating open-source code for the needs of the company, adapting existing/confusing code to the preferences of the end user and building an operating system off simulated hardware to test specifications. My recent employment at Epic Systems displays my versatility: as an Interface Analyst/Technical Project Manager I worked with Epic customers and other healthcare software vendors to integrate and support two separate products through HL7 interfaces. To do so, I developed and enhanced Cache code, supported, prioritized and solved issues by reviewing code and developing fixes, successfully managed projects by setting proper expectations and timelines, and quickly gained the trust of my customers and co-workers. While not actively looking for a career in English my interests in this subject are American Literature, Science Fiction, and Creative Writing. Specialties: 1 year experience programming in C, 1 year experience programming using perl, 2 years experience programming in Java, 1 year experience programming in Cache.
