Inquisitive Software Engineer and Technologist, specializing in data visualization and scientific computing.

Data Visualization Developer @ From September 2014 to Present (1 year 4 months) Senior Scientific Software Analyst @ Developed mobile-cloud technology for high-density clinical data collection and analysis, significantly reducing the cost of future clinical trials and improving patient monitoring and care. Built patient-facing mobile applications and games, utilizing phone sensors and external devices (Android, SQL Lite, Amazon S3). Target diseases included Multiple Sclerosis, Cystic Fibrosis and Huntington’s Disease. Evaluated third party technology and built proof-of-concept systems to improve effectiveness of patient care during physician office visits. Applications included eye tracking, spirometry, and gait analysis (using pressure sensitive floor tiles and Microsoft Kinect). Received the Vocap Platinum Award for outstanding contribution. Built a mobile application for displaying real-time hazard information about experiments running in chemistry labs (Android), improving lab safety and replacing paper forms with a tablet installed outside each lab. Lead developer of Vertex Electronic Notebook (VBook), a tool central to the workflow for hundreds of chemists worldwide (Java SE, Hibernate, MySQL). VBook replaces paper-based experiment reports with searchable electronic documents. Enhanced VBook user experience by improving throughput, liveness, visualization capacity, error handling, and overall performance (java.util.concurrent). Collaborated with chemists to design and implement new features for interfacing with lab instruments, chemical databases, and automating many routine tasks, thereby improving lab productivity and streamlining the FDA submission process. Collaborated with team members from molecular modeling to design and implement a pharmacaphore modeling tool (Java SE, MySQL). Modeling improvements reduce cost by narrowing down compounds to be explored in pre-clinical studies. From April 2008 to August 2014 (6 years 5 months) Software Engineer @ Developed a web-based platform for visualizing large geocoded datasets (Google Web Toolkit). Built upon the Google Maps API and using GEOServer, MapMundi overcame many limitations of native Google Maps markers, and allowed greater access to data and trend visualization. Worked with Tuck Business School (Dartmouth College), Fuqua School of Business (Duke University) and Harvard Business School on projects mapping public datasets: MapEcos gave users an intuitive UI to access to EPA Emissions data near their home, and evaluate other areas. Gentilly Project allowed Hurricane Katrina-affected New Orleans residents to monitor recovery progress in their neighborhood. From January 2006 to January 2008 (2 years 1 month)

BS, Computer Science @ Hobart and William Smith Colleges From 2000 to 2004 Chris Hughes is skilled in: Software Engineering, Java, Java Concurrency, Android Development, MySQL, Object Oriented Design, Mobile Applications, Hibernate, GWT, Computer Science, Version Control, IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse, Music Technology, Music Production
