Brian Marco — Software Developer

While helping my special needs nephew during the Covid-19 shutdown, I noticed the interface for his home chart was cumbersome. Rather than building a user interface from scratch I re-implemented the core features using Airtable. I also built a synchronization tool so that the data could be retained over time and possibly migrated to a more specialized tool in the future.

• Developed an Airtable synchronization tool by using Clojure

An open source system designed to develop seamless applications using a Datomic graph-database backend. Datsync is a sublibrary that handles the synchronization between the front and backend. Datview is a sublibrary that consists of a set of experiments attempting to provide automatic interactive data visualizations and common user interface elements using annotations rather than code.

• Worked with other open source software developers to build a framework for data synchronization and data representation
• Developed bridging code between Datascript (an in-memory database) and Datomic (a cloud scale datalog database) by using Clojure/Clojurescript
• Developed various user interface elements by using Clojure/Clojurescript
• Project page: https://github.com/metasoarous/datsys

A visualization tool for running the Onyx Local Runtime. It was used to facilitate experiments with Datview's user interface techniques. Onyx is a cloud scale data-processing framework similar to Apache Spark that provides durable executions using graphs of idempotent functions.

• Developed a simulator for Onyx by using Clojure/Clojurescript
• Project page: https://github.com/bamarco/onyx-sim
• Demo: https://mademonkey.com/onyx-sim

An educational interactive ebook about space. Traditional ebooks use fixed content. Interactive ebooks include game-like elements and interactive models.

• Worked with software developers, 3d graphics artists, and writers to develop an interactive ebook about space
• Developed a model of the solar system by using Unity engine
• Developed a flowing mosaic widget by using Javascript and CSS

A draft guide for fantasy football developed for iPhone and iPad. Although it could help you prepare ahead of a draft, it's main feature was the ability to use it on the fly during a draft when the draft didn't go to plan and users needed to adjust their picks on the fly.

• Worked on a team with an artist and sports analyst to develop a Fantasy Football Draft Guide for the iOS App Store by using Objective-C
• Designed a user interface optimized for quick reference

Icarus Studios produced the game "Fallen Earth" among other projects using the same game engine.

• Developed Non-Player Character (NPC) control algorithms by using Small

• Bachelor of Computer Science
• Certificate in Information Assurance (Computer Security)
• Minor in International Affairs (East Asian Economic Development model)

• Continuing education in data analysis (Word Sense Disambiguation, Gene Splice Detection) by using Python

• Started teaching Systema in 2017. Started training Systema in 2011.
• Studied various martial arts (Tae Kwon Do, Wu Shu, Jiu Jitsu, Aikido, Karate, Muay Thai)

• Taught 9-14 year olds various 18th century skills (fire building, throwing tomahawks, splitting wood, etc)
