§A Man
Clark is a 24 year old guy from College Station, Texas. He is married to the most wonderful woman in the world, and he loves Jesus. When he's not doing research or creating websites, you can probably find him out playing disc golf or snapping photos. He is continually enthusiastic about some new project or hobby.
Given the chance (and the money), Clark would buy a chunk of land in the Texas Hill Country, build a beautiful Tuscan-style villa, and spend the rest of his days tending a vineyard. Until that chance arrives, Clark will continue to look for unique opportunities for innovation and creativity on the Web and in photography.
§A Researcher
As a graduate student in Aerospace Engineering at Texas A&M University, Clark's research investigates Human-Robot Interaction—the tricky controls and interfaces required for one human to wrangle a team of robots. His project team is called HBOT, and it is a part of the LASR Lab at Texas A&M.
Another area of work for Clark is the creation of a classroom demostration of a control moment gyro. The final product takes the complex nonlinear equations driving the CMG dynamics and turns them into voltage signals in the device's motors. He is particularly excited about going from equations to machine implementation for this project.
Aside from the standard battery of aerospace engineering courses, including a few advanced analytical dynamics courses, he is enhancing his understanding of computer science. So far, he has taken the following:
- Artificial Intelligence
- Machine Learning
- Programming in C++
He plans to fill roughly one-third of his graduate course requirements through the computer science department. Take a look at Clark's Résumé for a little more about his education, among other things.
§A Freelance-Everything Kind of Guy
Clark is the type of person who prefers to build a solution himself, rather than going out to buy one. You can see the evidence even in the design of this website. There is no JavaScript toolkit clogging the pipes with a hundred kilobytes of extra code. There is no content management system, unless designed in-house.
And while he strives to finish most of his work on time, Clark makes sure to pay close attention to every detail, down to the last pixel.
The bottom line is that Clark will take a vested interest in your project—its success reflects upon his skills as a programmer, designer, photographer, or whatever other role he fills at your specific direction.
So take a look around to see whether you like what Clark does. Drop him a line. There is a creative, enthusiastic guy waiting on the other end of that email.
