About Me
My name is Kevin Sullivan and I’m a Junior at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute pursuing a dual degree in Computer Science and Computer Systems Engineering. I’ve always loved computers and have been amazed by what they can achieve. I was introduced to the programming world just prior to the advent of my high school career and have been enthralled by it ever since.
I don’t believe programming will ever be a full time job for me for a variety of reasons (lower pay grade vs. other computer engineering jobs, hard/long hours, generally centered around a single programming language, etc.) but it will always be something I love to do in my free time. Over the years I’ve dabbled in countless programming languages and have come to the point where I have no real preference. C++ was the first language I was introduced to but I’ve since had experience with Microsoft’s .NET (in the form of Visual Basic, C# and C++), Java, and Python. I’ve recently become interested in mobile development as the possibilities for a mobile device with a plethora of peripherals (gyroscope, gps, accelerometer, light sensors, microphone, speaker, etc) and an always-on connection are limitless. This step has introduced me to Objective-C and Cocoa Touch – an elegant language with well documented libraries in my opinion.
My younger brothers are also out taking the world by storm – be sure to visit their brainchild: Answers For Pilots!
With all that out of the way I’d like to let anyone who visits my site know that I’m always looking for new challenges – in programming, work and life. If you have a suggestion for a program, a suggestion for the site, or just want to throw a “hello” my way feel free to email me. If you like my work and want to throw some money my way I’m sure you won’t have too much trouble finding the donate links strewn across the site (look at that – there’s even one at the bottom of this page for you). I despise ads and will do what I can to keep the site ad-free… I pay a little under $100/year for hosting and don’t expect an income from this site so just a few generous donations in a year will have SideApps paid for.
