Tutored beginning to intermediate level students in Python 2 & 3. Helped students transitioning from python 2 to python 3 or vice versa. At times helped write python code for people interested in the Raspberry Pi range of hobbies, including some individuals wishing to explore commercial uses for their ideas.Tutoring students in a way that helped them not only get above average grades, but also demonstrating that programming can be a very useful hobby for anyone interested in technology. Discouraged students from simply getting the answer and moving on, encouraged students to learn the material well enough to possibly teach the material themselves.Went out of my way to not charge students who were unable to afford the commonly excessive price of conventional tutors.

Consistently post ads on Craigslist and other advertisement vectors to make additional income fixing computers, recovering data lost by malware, assisting users with any software issues they have, and generally any sort of technical question including optimal router setup. Services ranged from simple restoring a bad windows configuration so the system works again to showing customers custom ad blocking scripts I wrote that once installed on their modem, would greatly reduce the impact of adware ridden sites.Also tutored students under similar postings.

Was given the opportunity to assist in assessing malicious hacking attempts, everything ranging from unethical employees at small startups to unaware employees clicking a malicious link and unleashing cybergeddon on their networks.Worked with much more experienced individuals who were able to mentor me in the basic steps of assessing and recovering from various levels of compromise, the basic annoying browser toolbar to full blown remote code execution to post exploitation. Learned how to safely and effectively recover non-damaged data and to discretely investigate possible in house threats, such as unethical employees to remote sources.Learned how to help small teams understand and set up policies and general rules to help minimize the chance of user error compromises, such as how to browse the web safely, common safety tips regarding whether or not to run an executable file, and signs of early compromise to avoid data loss.
