About

I’m Nicholas Armstrong, a Master’s student in Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo.  I also spent my undergrad years at UW.  Computer Engineering at Waterloo is a Co-operative Education degree program, which means that, starting at the end of my first year, I switched every four months between school and working for a company in my field. My first co-op position was at Hydro One Networks in Barrie, Ontario; the second, which I completed in April 2006, was at the Greater Toronto Airports Authority in Mississauga. I spent two terms with Systemgroup, Inc. between September 2006 and September 2008 as a software consultant, working out of their Mississauga office as well as various client sites around the Greater Toronto Area. I spent my last two work terms (between January 2008 and December 2008)  on the Windows Presentation Foundation team at Microsoft, once as a Software Design Engineer (SDE) Intern and once as a Program Manager Intern.  During those terms at Microsoft, I designed and developed photoSuru, a WPF photo viewing developer sample application that has garnered some fame.  Since that time, I have completed my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering and moved on to a Master’s degree in the same, working with Dr. Paul A. S. Ward at the University of Waterloo in the area of distributed systems.
