{
  $\cdot{}$ A customer wanted the ability to show sections of stored surveys
  conditionally.  For legacy reason, this had to be done in CFML and was further
  constrained by existing surveys which could were not under our control.  After
  finding the relevant CFML, I constructed additions to the in-house developed
  markup language and corresponding processing CFML.  This feature has been in
  use for the last six months without affecting other survey features.
  \newline{}
  $\cdot{}$ Motivated by the difficult setup process, I decided to automate the
  setup of new Coldfusion developer stations.  Adobe's coldfusion installer
  script has user interaction, so initial scripting was done with Expect.  To
  make the installer more maintainable by the other programmers, this was
  converted to ruby and bash.  Several development systems have since used
  this installer.
  \newline{}
  $\cdot{}$ Because the old svn systems were difficult to work with, I converted
  several of them to git repos served by gitosis.  I set up the gitosis server
  and taught some coworkers how to use ssh-keys for easier interaction with it.
}
\cventry{2006--2010}{Computer Engineer}{Avaak, Inc.}{San Diego}{}
{
  The last project I created at Avaak 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--2011}{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.

\section{Personal Projects}
\cvline{py\_shell\_bot}{This was originally started because it was hard to
follow along as a teacher would type into the python repl during class.
Using this, the teacher (or any presenter) can type as they normally do and
students can follow along in an irc channel.
\httplink{github.com/ozzloy/py\_shell\_bot}}
\cvline{oble}{This project uses 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 to
prevent the screensaver.  I used C++ with OpenCV libs to create this program.
\httplink{gitorious.org/oble/oble}}
\cvline{technical blog}{\httplink{i-am-lucky.blogspot.com/} Mostly written as
a reference for myself, this blog is an account of my technical struggles.}
\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}}
