Gabe Rudy

My wife and I migrated down to Salt Lake City, from Bozeman, Montana where I completed an BS in Computer Science at Montana State University in the end of 2005. Between my undergraduate and graduate pursuits, I've had the pleasure of working at a bio-tech company as a software engineer and later as director of software development.

I am pursing a masters in computer science at the University of Utah and am thoroughly enjoying my time in Salt Lake City. Maybe I could fill in more details of the what-nots and goings-ons in the Rudy family, but in the mean time, here is a photo of my wife and I on a Harley in Yellowstone Park.

Projects and Talks

When I scratch itches or write programs for fun and they turns into something worth sharing, I throw them up on google code. Here are a few:

• A GUI for a seam-carving image resizer
• Some code to let you have a windows program act as both a console and windows application.
• A build system that makes quick work of multi-computer tasks through parametrized shell code snippets
• And recently Visual Studio built binaries of the Qt GUI libraries packaged in a lean and clean installer.

I've given a couple talks to various groups:

• Building Scalable Web Sites (pps) - Utah Compilers Reading Group 2009
• Introductory Talk on Learning Python (pps) - MSU Lecture Series 2007
• C++ Development Using Qt (pps) - MSU Lecture Series 2005

Research Assistant

I am currently working as a research assistant for Mary Hall doing work on auto-converting code to run on GPUs and multi-core environments and auto-tuning performance to maximize resource utilization.
