CAPITAL Words:

CAPITAL Words: is a semi-automated system for generating, presenting, and evaluating responses to exercises designed to improve one’s phonemic awareness. Combining all the benefits of traditional methods (convenience, dependability, and consistency) and more instructor-reliant solutions (flexibility, customization, and mobility), the application generates randomly generated exercises customized to the individual beginning reader.

Bio:I am James Pizzurro, a senior at The George Washington University seeking a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science with a concentration in graphics and digital media. My interests include software engineering and design, and I am currently exploring project management and leadership.

My initial interest in my field came about back in high school when I found myself designing and programming modifications for popular video game titles. At university, I have since worked in data quality assurance, interned at the Executive Office of the President as a software engineer and engaged in academic research with several professors. I consider myself well-rounded and versed in many programming languages and technologies.
