Lance Sigersmith

I'm a graduate student at Quinnipiac University pursuing a Master's in Computer Science, currently working as a Software Engineering Intern at Stanley Black & Decker. I hold a Bachelor's in Computer Science from UConn. My work spans IoT systems, AWS Cloud technologies, and Android development.

Software Engineering Intern — Stanley Black & Decker

June 2025 – Present

• Evaluating AWS IoT Greengrass Nucleus Lite to replace custom embedded components.
• Developing Greengrass components capable of MQTT messaging, OTA A/B updates with RAUC & SWUpdate, and S3 uploads.
• Integrating BLE-enabled tools with gateway devices and AWS IoT Core.
• Developing Android applications with BLE scanning capability and AWS cloud integration

Multiplayer Networked Trivia Game — Java

A full client–server trivia game written in Java using both TCP and UDP. The server maintains global game state, manages multiple concurrent players via handler threads, and broadcasts updates. The client provides a Swing‑based GUI and communicates using a custom message protocol.

Shape Drawing GUI — C++ / Allegro

A graphical drawing tool built using the Allegro framework featuring draggable shapes, text rendering, event‑driven input handling, and an object‑oriented rendering pipeline.

Distributed File Synchronization System — Java

A Java client–server system enabling multi‑client file synchronization. A centralized server tracks metadata and distributes updates, while clients maintain mirrored folders using TCP messaging, concurrency control, and file‑state reconciliation.

Congress Tracker — iOS (Swift)

A Swift-based iOS application that surfaces U.S. congressional data, including votes and legislation, from external APIs. The app separates networking, model, and UI layers so that REST requests and JSON parsing are cleanly abstracted from the view controllers. It focuses on clean information hierarchy and navigation, making complex legislative data easy to browse on mobile.

Magic Mirror HealthKit Integration — Node.js / JavaScript

A MagicMirror² module displaying activity, health, and movement data. Features a modular architecture with a UI module and a Node.js backend helper. Uses configuration‑driven behavior and clear event‑based messaging within the MagicMirror runtime.

Ecosystem Life Simulator — C++

A C++ simulation of an evolving ecosystem built on an inheritance‑based class hierarchy. Models movement, predators, feeding, reproduction, and emergent environmental behavior.

Company Database Manager — Python + SQL

A Python CLI application interacting with a relational database. Supports full CRUD workflows, schema‑aware validation, and table‑relationship management.

Polygon Data Structure — C++

A geometric data structure that supports bounding‑box computation, point‑in‑polygon testing, and polygon intersection logic using algorithmic computational geometry.
