Hi! I'm Scott Forsythe, a at Purdue studying Computer Engineering with a focus on software development.
I am interested in obtaining an internship position with an organization that will allow me to work in my chosen field: software development. I will be graduating from Purdue with a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Engineering in 2020.
I have been working as a programmer for six years. I have experience in 8 programming languages and several operating systems and programs. As a paid software development intern for NASA Langley, I worked on software/algorithm development for the Earth Radiation Budget Instruments, including developing algorithms to analyze test data, using specialized tools and programming languages, building applications by collaborating with the engineering team to design and implement new features, and identifying techniques to optimize performance. The project deliverable is a fully developed graphical user interface (GUI) that will aid in analyzing large data sets for the Earth radiation budget instrument calibration campaigns.
For nonprofit organizations, I developed an app and ebook that have been selected by the bicentennial commission to be part of a statewide celebration (Amazon.com download, Google Play download, iTunes download), I created a program for the Indiana State Government that enables the Legislature to better interact with and inform the public of bill status, I created several websites, I updated a website for the Science Central science museum to make it mobile friendly, I coded a document-hosting website for the American Library Association TAB, and I helped a state historic site select, repair and customize hardware and software, and recovered historic documents from their nonfunctional 11-year old computer.
I am also the founder of the Dyslexic Kids Support Organization, an organization providing information, resources, support groups, free tutoring and annual conferences for children and teens around the world who have dyslexia. I founded the organization in 2011; today there are over 10,000 members in 74 countries.
In my spare time, I enjoy programming, 3D modeling, mod creation, skiing, playing piano, biking, laser tag, sci-fi, researching, reading and writing.
This website is intended to be an online resume and curriculum vitae. If you would like to speak with me about an internship position in your organization, please contact me at ScottForsytheEngineering@gmail.com. I look forward to hearing from you!
