\section{Education}
% arguments 3 to 6 are optional
\cventry{2003--2008}{BS}{UCSD}{San Diego}{CA}

\section{Experience}
\subsection{Vocational}
% arguments 3 to 6 are optional
\cventry{2013--2016}{Cofounder}{challenge--bot}{Palo Alto}{CA}
{
  \begin{itemize}
    \item
      challenge--bot gives students courage and encourages autonomous
      learning. The design of challenge--bot shows how to build a
      robot from commonly available parts.  Students realize that they
      can have a completely new idea and go build it from parts on the
      free market.
    \item
      Students have taken this message to heart and brought their
      ideas into reality. Projects include building a cat feeder and
      fish feeder. Several students combined their robots and were
      able to perform more sophisticated tasks. Another student built
      the same robot, but with much bigger parts, in order to make it
      faster and last longer.
    \item
      Together with Learnika, Erin and I have brought challenge-bot
      material to Gideon Hausner, a middle school in Palo Alto. In
      addition, we have taught challenge-bot at the hackerspaces
      Hacker Dojo and Entropi. I also teach the material at Learnika's
      own learning center.
  \end{itemize}
}
\cventry{2014--2016}{Tutor}{Learnika}{Palo Alto}{CA}
{
  \begin{itemize}
    \item
      Gideon Hausner Jewish Day School hires Learnika tutors to
      teach afterschool programs.  Because of my computer skills,
      I have taught scratch, independent, and advanced coding classes.
    \item
      Individual students find tutors through Learnika as well, and I
      teach them a wide variety of subjects. For software, we cover
      scratch, python, scheme, and Java. After taking the
      challenge-bot course at Learnika, students continue on learning
      robotics topics. We cover soldering, and the robotics software
      development cycle.
  \end{itemize}
}
\cventry{2010--2013}{Computer Engineer}{VisionTree, Inc.}{San Diego}{CA}
{
  \begin{itemize}
    \item
      Because svn repos were difficult to work with, I converted
      them to git with ssh keys for authorization.
    \item
      After teaching several employees individually how to use git, I
      created and taught a git workshop.
    \item
      I rewrote scripts for handling HL7 communications, automated
      and documented their installation.
    \item
      For a client, I made backwards-compatible features to internally
      developed markup and processing code.
    \item
      Coldfusion setup was tedious, so I scripted it with
      Expect and translated it to ruby and bash for coworkers.
  \end{itemize}
}
\cventry{2006--2010}{Computer Engineer}{Avaak, Inc.}{San Diego}{CA}
{
  \begin{itemize}
    \item
      To locate communications problems, I wrote tools which
      identified the server's memory as the bottleneck.
    \item
      Working with UCSD professors, I characterized a reversible
      chemical sensor reaction's amount and type.
  \end{itemize}
}
\cventry{2007}{Programming Languages Tutor}{UCSD}{San Diego}{CA}
{
  In Fall and Winter quarters, I tutored students Programming Languages,
  CSE 130, covering different paradigms using different languages.

\subsection{For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology}
% arguments 3 to 6 are optional
\cventry{2013--present}{Programming Subteam Lead Mentor}
        {Firebots Team 3501}{Fremont}{CA}
{
  As a result of students' trouble with git concepts, David Dobervich
  and I created materials to help teach and assess these skills
  systematically.
}
\cventry{2011--2013}{Programming Subteam Lead Mentor}
        {Cow Abductors Team 53}{Greenbelt}{MD}
{
  With my help, high school students have written controller code,
  and learned about source code management.
}
\cventry{2003--2011}{Programming Subteam Mentor}{Midnight Mechanics Team 812}
{San Diego}{CA}
{
  Along with other mentors, I introduced high school students to programming
  and controller hardware.
