Welcome, my name is Quinn Damerell and I am currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science at Purdue University. I currently know Java, C, C++, HTML, CSS, and PHP. I thoroughly enjoy coding and have created a few projects of my own, which can be found here; along with my projects for school that can be found here.In the summer of 2010 I was very fortunate to receive a Software Engineering position at Raytheon in Fort Wayne Indiana. The experience was amazing and really helped me prepare to work in a more corporate environment. I also worked with amazingly intelligent group of people who I got along with very well. For the summer of 2011, I have accepted an internship at Microsoft as a Software Developer in Seattle Washington. I am really looking forward to this opportunity and am very excited about the opportunity to live in Seattle for a while.

I have been deeply involved with Android development recently. I have written a few applications on my own that are currently on the Android market, and a few with my friend Bryan Ehrlich. The first application I wrote for Android was a Purdue food court menu app that can be found here. Bryan and I’s most recent Android app currently under development is PurdueBus. PurdueBus provides GPS based real-time tracking of the bus system at Purdue; more information can be found here.

Beyond school work and my own projects, I have been very busy this semester. My friend Bryan Ehrlich and I won the State Farm Coding Completion recently and took a really fun trip out to Bloomington Illinois to compete against the top 5 winners. Bryan Ehrlich, Tyler Reid, and I also recently won the ACM Google Coding Completion here at Purdue with and Android application we call Gathr. We won a free trip to Google’s offices in Chicago to tour and present our Android App to the employs at Google, it was a very fun experience :). Gathr is a social networking based friend event scheduler that is still under heavy development; more information on Gathr will be available later.

Beyond my school work I enjoy gaming and doing theater tech. My current list of top games includes Team Fortress 2, Call of Duty 4 MW2, Portal, Plants vs. Zombies, and Left 4 Dead 2. I also play a verity of other arcade games through steam.

My entire life I have had a passion for theater technology. I was the soundboard technician for my first play, Snow White, when I was in the fifth grade. From there on out I have pursued my joy in the theater. I have done countless plays for the Children’s Theater in Fort Wayne, and through high school was the head theater technician for all the plays and musicals. I am now still currently involved with the Miss Indiana Pageant where I am a Technical Director, overseeing and managing the entire lighting details of the production, along with other backstage aspects of the production. Locally I also help with our Miss Noble County and Miss Limberlost Pageant.
