I am a creative, curious and versatile computer programmer with a wide range of skills across platforms old and new, from venerable (Java, C++, SQL) to modern (Python, Swift, Go, Node, React, Vue), from creative (Stencyl, Processing) to elegant (Scheme, Haskell) to niche (Twine, Inform 7). I have built applications and tools for all manner of purposes, from parsing qualitative data to automating registration for a 100+ person event at a retreat center, from a “hexagonal Boggle” game to a complete custom course-management system.I am also an educational researcher, curriculum developer and, for 13 of the last 15 years, a full-time professional computer science educator. My primary responsibility in the role I held for over a decade, at Las Positas College, was designing and teaching lower-division college computer science courses to a highly diverse population of students attending an open-access public higher education institution. I also directed our campus-wide Honors Transfer Program, and had on-going engagement in the hiring, evaluation and mentoring of Computer Science faculty.More recently I held a full-time role at Mills College for 2 years, teaching Intro to CS (Java), Computer Architecture, Programming Languages, Data Structures, Game Development and Intro to Data Analysis. At Mills I have especially appreciated the opportunity to design justice-oriented CS curricula and mentor aspiring computer scientists at both undergraduate and graduate levels.For the last 2 years, I have been a senior software engineer within the R&D division of Amyris, a synthetic biology company. In this role, I contribute to feature development, maintenance and support spanning a wide variety of applications and services used by our internal clients across several scientific and engineering workflows, including strain development, genomics, fermentation, analytical chemistry and process development. The bulk of the projects I have contributed to are web applications using Python and Javascript (React), but also include a custom .NET / F# application. Beyond software engineering tasks, I have also been involved in ongoing internal mentoring and training programs, and am the co-designer and co-instructor of a 10-week long Python bootcamp for "code-curious" scientists within our larger division.
