Robert Casey Lafferty
I am an experienced video game developer and software engineer with hands-on experience in projects like Call of Duty, casino slot machines, and military weapon systems. Holding both a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Computer Science, I focused my studies on cyber security and video game development.
In addition to my industry background, I have spent eight years as an educator and tutor, with three years as an online tutor, two years as a Graduate Teaching Assistant, and three years as an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant, helping students in the field of computer science and various core subjects. My interests encompass game development, software development, cyber security, artificial intelligence, web development, and more.
UNL TRIO Website (HTML/CSS/JS/PHP)
As a Graduate Research Assistant at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Office of TRIO, I migrated a PHP-based website to the university's content management system, adapting it to new templates and guidelines. My role involved PHP/HTML5 development, ensuring compliance with federal and university standards, attending web developer meetings, and providing technical support.

What have I learned from this project?
I learned how to maintain a larger-scaled website for a university office as opposed to hosting a club or personal website. I also learned how work with a heavily-regulated website, both from federal programs and university-imposed regulations.
