Adam Batson
Hi, my name is Adam and I write software.
I am a graduate of the Software Engineering program at Carleton University. I currently work at Ottawa based startup Slenke Inc where I help build Slenke's web and mobile applications.
I was born and raised in the small mining town of Labrador City, Newfoundland and Labrador. My hobbies include running, hiking, cross country skiing, and reading.
Slenke is a collaborative project management sofwtare who's mission is to help create a connected workplace and give people working in it a simpler way to get work done.
I started working at Slenke in September of 2017. During my time here I've had the pleasure of working on an innovative product and developed proficiencies in CakePHP, jQuery and mobile app development with the Ionic framework. I've also worked with third party services OneSignal and Stripe, I also oversaw Slenke's integration with the Zapier platform.
GBTIS (Gesture Based Text Input System) was a capstone project written by myself, Richard Carson, and Max DeMelo. The system uses a Microsoft Kinect to track a users finger-tip and interpret the users hand motions as text, allowing a user to "Write in the air". The project was completed in fulfilment of SYSC4927 and earned our group an A.
