Apple Inc.; Cupertino, CA As a Project Manager for Mac OS X, my job is to reconcile quality, security, stability, compatibility, performance, and usability with time, money, and curb appeal. To do this, I work cross-functionally with the executive team, engineering managers, and individual contributors to deliver the envisioned product. Product Release Engineer, Mac OS X Product Release Group When I was a Release Engineer, my job was to help make sure that past, current, and future Apple and third-party applications work great with past, current, and future Apple hardware and operating systems. In this position, I performed bug screening and triage work, debugged application problems (generally without access to source code), and developed testing tools and process that increased team effectiveness. Pennsylvania State University; University Park, PA While I was a graduate student, I helped coordinate senior-level courses on user interface design and cognitive modeling, a junior-level course on human-computer interaction, and a freshman-level survey course. As a Teaching Assistant, I performed typical grading duties, created assignments and exams, held office hours, and conducted recitation sections. In Spring of 2007, I was given the opportunity to design and teach a capstone course on usability engineering to forty juniors and seniors.
