Chris Brakebill’s Summary
Currently working two jobs in IT. My interests are in networking, various types of programming (Java, Objective-C, XML, Javascript). When I'm not in class and doing homework, I'm trying to teach myself to write an application for the Blackberry OS as well as learning to program for the iPhone and OS X.
After I get my degree I hope to attend graduate school in Architecture. My big interest is integrating technology into buildings and designing "smart buildings." I spend my walks to and from class thinking about how to design a mainstream, open, extensible, and simple to use "smart home." Hopefully it will be something that can allow you to experience your media just the way you want it, save energy, and improve and simplify lives in many ways.
I'm very interested in networking with people with similar interests or interests that might be related in some way, so feel free to email me or add me to you network
