TA for freshman introductory CS course. Held (insane but amazing) office hours, gave lectures, graded work, etc. TA stuff.TA for second-year data structures course. Rewrote entire curriculum, including lectures, assignments, and tests during off hours, when not doing standard TA stuff. New changes officially adopted and integrated.TA for graduate-level Bayesian Statistics for Machine Learning course. Standard TA stuff, plus developing curriculum and creating tests and assignments.Taught graduate-level Artificial Intelligence class. Completely overhauled curriculum, wrote new assignments, labs, and tests, and did all of the TA stuff, too, since I didn't have a TA. One of the most enjoyable things I have ever done. Got excellent reviews.

Migrated entire code base to a single-machine development environment, allowing for development in a sandboxed environment using CVS. Managed the same.Designed and implemented high performance template engine for Perl (HTML::CMTemplate) and Python (CMTemplate.py). Used the same to brand the entire product and to generate all static and dynamic content.Migrated all data access to an abstract model, decoupling data access from any one data storage implementation (was Oracle, now can be PostgreSQL, mySQL, OpenLDAP, XMLRPC, or whatever, with no loss in access speed). Actually implemented PostgreSQL, XMLRPC, and Oracle layers for this abstraction model.Rearchitected the technology to use distributed nodes instead of a single central point of access, allowing for internet-wide bandwidth sharing, failover, and load balancing.Developed several management applications in Perl.Co-designed and implemented Bayesian content filtering system as an Apache 2.0 module.

Taught discrete mathematics for CS students. Developed and delivered curriculum and lectures, wrote and administered tests, graded papers and programming labs, held office hours, basically did everything and loved all of it. The students did, too, and gave me glowing reviews. I was proud.

Designed and implemented a free hosting architecture for a local startup company using PHP, Python, MySQL, QMail, and Apache 1.3 on Linux. The system included bandwidth and space-limiting features, a custom file manager, and administrative tools for the clients as well as the system administrator. The system was load-balanced and scalable in space, CPU, and bandwidth requirements using cheap Intel hardware and free software.Developed an easy roll-out code structure to allow for updates of production servers with minimal service interruption.Managed the technology team, including 4 developers, 1 network administrator, and 1 HTML designer. Assigned tasks and followed up on completion of various tools and web pages.Set up and maintained a Bugzilla bug database.Set up and maintained a CVS repository. Created a web interface for CVS updates on the test server.

Lead Engineer of Intranet Web Development Team.Designed and developed intranet applications in Perl, SQL (Oracle), HTML, Javascript, and Java.

Wrote and maintained custom test and initialization software used to drive analog LCD flat video screens. Software was written using Delphi, C++ Builder, and some limited x86 assembly. Required understanding of RS232-based protocols and low-level multi-threaded programming. Also required extensive GUI design and implementation.Early in this period invented, developed, and maintained a hardware licensing web system, allowing remote activation of factory hardware, using strong encryption and identification protocols. Wrote additional code to perform secure end-to-end communication over HTTP without the use of SSL. Wrote tools for administration of the license database over HTTP using Perl, C, and MySQL.

Developed and maintained Password Recovery Toolkit version 4.x for Windows using C++ Builder.Assisted in development of Version 5.x of the same using Visual C++.Developed system models for clean plug-in integration and maintenance.Developed compiled code obfuscation and licensing for product protection.

Maintained auto insurance applications with shifting insurance requirements. Had more fun than should be (or indeed was) allowed. Put myself through school.
