Meet Our Team

Zachariah Derrick

I am a member of the Honors College here at NAU, currently in my final year pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science. I have 2 years of Software Engineering industry experience through an internship with Amazon and a co-op with State-Farm, and I am passionate about writing software that impacts our world and the people in it. I am our team leader and customer communicator, which entails the responsibility of ensuring work and meeting progress, coordinating client meetings, and initializing conflict resolution.

Nile Roth

I am currently a senior in BS Computer Science with a cumulative GPA of 3.7. My range of field knowledge and experience has grown exponentially this past year. I am strongest in the C language and enjoy writing and analyzing back-end code. I hope to one day find a job that allows me to apply my computer science expertise towards an environmental related issue or topic. My main roles in this group are architect, release manager, and coder. This implies making sure we maintain a clean and well-organized version control center. I am also in charge of assuring branches, commits and version releases are up to date, have high readability and high accuracy. I also have the responsibility in ensuring the commitment to the architectural decisions implemented. Along with these roles I am also the deliverable editor, and submitter.

Asa Henry

I am a senior Bachelor of Science in NAU’s Computer Science program. As a backend developer, I will help construct and write code to interact with the TOMST device and save the data on the user’s device; in addition, helping the frontend developers to give the user access to the backend. I am also responsible for helping with release management: ensuring code structure is consistent and maintains a high degree of readability. This will also involve ensuring commits go through the required process to be put to production, and that the issue tracker is used effectively.

Niklas Kariniemi

I am currently a senior at NAU pursuing a degree in Computer Science. I have experience creating websites, Google AppScripts, and other software products for a company called Zigmens. My skills vary from website development to backend development. I am passionate about learning new technologies within the computer science field. I am our team’s recorder, which means I am in charge of keeping detailed minutes on our meetings.
