About

Hi, I'm Curtis Hughes. I work as a software engineer at a company called Asurion in Nashville. I graduated magna cum laude from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville with a bachelor's degree in Computer Science (Summer 2016). During my time spent as an undergraduate, I undertook internships at Scripps Networks Interactive, The Cumberland Companies, and TeamHealth. I enjoy programing and spend most of my free time working on personal projects like this site.


Interactive Rubrik's Cube

Test it out! This is an interactive Rubrik's Cube that I built using a WebGL wrapper called Three.js. It works on all major browsers and is compatible with IOS and Android. It even utilizes the GPU when ran on a compatible desktop.

GitLab

personal interests

Programming

Programming is my passion. I spend a lot of my spare time working on personal projects and enjoy reading and listening to podcasts to further expand my knowledge on the subject.

Video Games

Video games have been a significant part of my life since childhood and have played a large role in my desire to become a developer. Some of my favorite games include: Minecraft, Elder Scrolls (Oblivion/Skyrim), and Terraria.

Coffee

I own a French press, a Chemex, and a Keurig. You could say that I love coffee, but that would be an understatement.

Movies

I enjoy movies and have very fond memories of going to the Ritz theatre in downtown Clinton with my family and friends. Let me know your favorite film by leaving a message in the Contact Me section below.

Implemented with AWS

I set up a simple AWS Lambda function to direct emails to myself. The function is triggered by an AWS API Gateway endpoint, which restricts access and limits the number of requests per day. Once the function is triggered it makes a call to the AWS Simple Email Service, which then sends the email to a dedicated address for me to read later.
