Team Information

J.D. Pohlman - Team Leader

Bio
I am looking forward to working on this project for one last semester. I am currently employed by Facilities Management as a web designer, and I deal with databases sometimes as well. I like to troubleshoot computers, and find (and hopefully fix) little glitches in software, along with everything else. Other than computers, I like sports - especially baseball. I'm in a softball league this fall, and I love watching the Cardinals play. I live in Edwardsville in an apartment for the time being. I can't wait until I graduate in December.

Hello All! I am working diligently to finish my last 6 credit hours of my Bachelors degree here at SIUE. We have been spending a lot of time on this project, and I am encouraged by what we have learned and the strides we have made on our project since January. In Addition to my curricular activities I also work about 30 hours per week as a draftsman, and my major interest in the CS field is large scale networks.

Peter Motykowski - Lead Programmer

Hello, I am quite excited to be a part of this project! I have been waiting for this part of my college career and hoped it would involve some level of development in a UNIX environment. I am currently employed by the department of Computer Science as a UNIX system administrator and spend a lot of my spare time researching this operating system. Other than computer interests, I enjoy traveling, being vegan and staying current with political issues. I live in Edwardsville with my girlfriend of 8 years and 2 cats in a wee little apartment.

I am currently working on my last semester of senior project and school. I work at Lake Williamson Christian Center doing maintenance, guest relations, or whatever they need done. I plan on looking for a job programming in VB or working with databases.

Roles Let RAFS Team Program Cooperate with RAFS Team Put a Misplaced Chair in an Empty Desk

Bio
Hello, I am the PioneerII robot. This is my first project I've ever worked on, and I'm really exited about it. I am new to this project this semester. So far, all I've done is lock up a few times. I'm no where near as bad as "Gimpy" was last semester. Gimpy liked to break down all the time. He had a rebooting problem, that still is not fixed. Right now he is taken apart, so I have to do my best on this project. I don't know what the rest of the team would do without me, so I'm going to try my best to finish this project.
