Jason's GitHub Repositories



  • College-Public: previous semesters work, that I have put into a GitHub repository as a sort of "portfolio" of my prior classwork. I keep all my current work in a private repository. You should check out the GitHub Student Developer Pack if you want 5 free private GitHub repositories while you're a student.
  • UML-Alerts: an Android application that I co-developed for the Android Development class at UMass Lowell. It uses SMS to send messages to a list of contact(s) with a Google Maps URL embeded at the end of the message with the user's current location.
  • Ubuntu-Settings: settings that I customized for running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Includes a few bash scripts that install several of my most used programs.
  • iSENSE-API: I wrote a C++ API wrapper for a project called iSENSE. I also contributed to earlier versions of the JavaScript / Python API wrappers.
  • isenseDev/Teaching: I wrote some example code for the C++ API wrapper I mentioned above. I also contributed some early example code in JavaScript / Python.
  • HTML-Apps: I wrote a variety of HTML5 WebApps for a project called iSENSE.
  • HighSchool: contains some random C++ programs that I wrote for two high school classes.
