\section{Education}

\section{Experience}
\subsection{Vocational}
% arguments 3 to 6 are optional
\cventry{2006--2010}{Computer Engineer}{Avaak, Inc.}{San Diego}{}
{
	The most recent project I created is a system monitoring tool which spoofed
	Avaak's clients to test their servers.  This project weighed in at 3kloc of
	Ruby.  I also created a test framework for the firmware on the router product
	which cross-compiled unit tests, loaded the binary onto the target hardware,
	ran the tests and reported results.  An earlier project had invariant image
	feature extraction in C.  Later, I used PCA, and Fischerfaces analysis under
	the supervision of Serge Belongie, Ph.D. UCSD.  My first project was a
	firmware loader for an embedded camera hardware using mspgcc and C.
}
\cventry{2007}{Programming Languages Tutor}{UCSD}{San Diego}{}
{
	In CSE 130, I tutored students Programming Languages in the fall and winter
	quarters.  We covered different styles of programming through different
	languages: functional programming with OCaml; object oriented programming
	with python; logic programming with prolog. 
}
\subsection{For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology}
% arguments 3 to 6 are optional
\cventry{2003--2007}{Programming Subteam Mentor}{Midnight Mechanics Team 812}
{San Diego}{}
{
	I helped high school students code controller firmware and introduced them to
	aspects of software development like version control with svn, and logic flow
	control structures with C.
}
\cventry{2002--2003}{Programming Subteam Member}{Cheesy Poofs Team 254}
{San Jose}{}
{
	Coded robot controller firmware and autonomous mode in pBasic, shrinking code
	into the EEPROM.
}
%\subsection{Miscellaneous}
%% arguments 3 to 6 are optional
%\cventry{2000--2003}{Track Marshall}{SpeedRing}{San Jose}{}{
%	SpeedRing is go-kart racing for adults\newline{}

\section{Personal Projects}
\cvline{oble}{This project allows the computer to use a camera to detect
presence of a face.  The program aggresively blanks the screen for power
saving.  In addition, oble allows one to watch in browser videos without poking
the keyboard and mouse.  I used C++ with OpenCV libs to create this program.
\httplink{gitorious.org/oble/oble}}
%\cvline{technical blog}{\httplink{i-am-lucky.blogspot.com/} linux, gitosis,
%ruby}
\cvline{imageclipper}{Having a set of labelled data helps with many
machine-learning projects.  I started with someone else's code base and modified
it to make labelling easier for me.  The tool helped me label data used for
training a car detector.  \httplink{github.com/ozzloy/imageclipper}}
