    Front-end and back-end website development and maintenance
    for Java/JSP, PHP, and Silverstripe based sites.  Linux, MySQL,
    Tomcat, and Apache server configuration and maintenance.

  Instructor, Northeastern University, Boston, MA  9/2010 - 7/2011
    Lecturing, running labs, managing the course website, creating
    assignments and exams, and managing grades in Northeastern's
    introductory undergraduate courses (Fundamentals of Computer
    Science 1 and 2), two courses per semester.
       Developed Java libraries to support the development of complex,
    visual, interactive games using Java Swing and Android Platforms.

  Research Assistant, Northeastern University, Boston, MA  5/2008 - 9/2010
    Completed thesis research on generic, polytypic, and adaptive
    object-oriented programming and tools.  Peer reviewed conference
    and journal submissions/publications and helped with my advisor's
    courses in Algorithms and Software Development.
       Developed DemeterF, a class, traversal, and parser generator
    for Java and C#, including traversal, multiple-dispatch, and HTTP
    libraries for Java, C#, and PLT Scheme.  Ported the JavaCC parser
    generator to generate C# parsers.

  Software Eng. Intern, Synopsys Inc, Marlborough, MA 6/2005 - 9/2007
    Worked on compiler implementation and analyses for for hardware
    description languages (e.g., Verilog).  Developed optimizations,
    in C and C++ focusing on activation-record elimination and
    basic-block fusion for hardware simulation.
       Implemented a prototype multi-threaded event-based simulator
    for hardware simulation also in C and C++.
