Computer-Human Interaction :: Spring 2005

Adam Mikeal

After earning a degree from Texas A&M in History and Music, my interests have shifted slightly, leading me to the Computer Science department and courses that deal with the problems involved with Humanities Informatics.

Currently, I am employed full-time by the Computer Science department as the Systems Analyst responsible for web and database application development. This has included developing the current departmental intranet, CSNet, and the PHP-XML application framework that drives it; as well as content management solution to power the departmental public website.
