My name is Mike Wynne (pronounced like the word “win”). I am currently pursuing a bachelors degree in computer science and engineering from the University of Connecticut and I have a passion for all things technology. My main interest is software development, but I am also interested in learning more about computer architecture. Last summer, I worked as a software engineering intern at a management consulting firm in Hartford, CT. I knew that I liked writing software before I started my job this summer, but I never pictured myself enjoying it quite as much as I do!

This is my most substantial as well as my most current project. I currently work at a company called NEOS, a small management consulting firm in Hartford. I am developing a web application to be used as a key performance indicating tool. This tool allows the user to see an abundance of infomation about the current state of the company. The user can seek and isolate just about any piece of data that they would like, such as graphs that show the company''s weekly revenue by employee or by project. The idea is that the user can see anything as general as the overall performance of the company to something as specific as the profitabilty of having a given employee working on a specific project. This application runs on Node.js and MySQL for its backend and its frontend is hard coded in HTML, CSS, and Javascript. Some other technologies that I am implementing to optimize the applicaiton include Bootstrap, jQuery, CanvasJS, and Chart.js. I would love to be able to provide a link to the aplication here (I should be able to very soon), however, the application is currently sitting on a local server at NEOS and is not yet in the cloud.
This is an application that I started to develop with a few friends when I participated in the first ever hackathon at UConn this spring semester (2016). I worked with a team of four other students who were also interested in innovation and technology. I was, however, the only person on the team with any sort of mobile application development experience. The first link underneath will allow you to download the powerpoint that we used to present the project and it probably does a better job explaining the project than I would if I were to try and squeeze an explanation in here. Also, if you would like to see the actual code of the application, then you can head on over to my GitHub profile(the link is up top)! Just a heads up, the hackathon was a 24 hour event, so I only managed to code the front end interface of the application. I do not quite understand enough about the back end of moble aplications to be able to build a prototype of the application, nor do I have the time. However, I frequently have conversations with my friends about giving it a try some time in the near future. If nothing else, it would be a great exercise.

Below is the link to a website that I created as my final project for the Spanish class that I took this past semester (spring 2016). The website was created using the free website builder called Weebly. This specific Spanish class had never been taught before at UConn, so my section was the pilot semester. The objective of the project was to create a review of the class; to summarize what we learned, what projects we completed, and to provide some information about a specifec study abroad trip that was associated with the class. Just a heads up, this website is in Spanish.

This is my final project for an Electric Circuits class that I took this past spring semester (2016). The objective was to build a circuit that could essentially send an audio signal from one location to another with nothing connecting those locations, other than the light of a laser beam. I will not bore you with the details of how the sending and receiving circuits work. However, the link below will take you to the video that explains the design and functionality of the circuit. There is also a short demonstration of its functionality at the end, so feel free to skip there if you are not interested in electric circuits (demo begins at 3:25).
