Re: [moose-devel] GSoC Schedule

[vivek s. <viv...@gm...>]

Hello,

I have a github account  (https://github.com/Vivek-sagar?tab=repositories) ,
which has some of the projects I have worked on.

   - Balanar's Adventures(https://github.com/Vivek-sagar/Balanars-Adventures)
   is a game that I created entirely by myself. It is a 2-D sidescroller game
   made with Python and the Pygame graphics library. This will provide a fair
   idea of my coding style, considering that all the code here is mine.
   - I implemented an SLR parser (https://github.com/Vivek-sagar/SLR-Parser)
   using OpenMP. It exhibits my understanding of the parallel programming
   paradigm.
   - I have been working with a climate model called WRF (Weather Research
   and Forecasting) - developing a GUI installer, and a framework that employs
   this to provide Cyclone alerts. Unfortunately, this code isn't in the
   public domain. You can read up about it on my website (
   http://vivekvidyasagaran.weebly.com/wrfinstall.html).

I have worked on a large number of other projects too. My website (
vivekvidyasagaran.weebly.com) showcases many of my projects. This does not
have much of code in itself, but does provide a good idea of the type of
work that I have been involved in. I will be glad to provide code for any
of the projects if you require. Please do check it out if you have the time.

My Github account also has a few other pieces of code that I have developed.

Thanks

Vivek
