Apple Computer;
Cupertino, CA
and State College, PA (Home Office) Performed application triage work in order to maintain binary compatibility between major Mac OS X operating system releases and software updates. Screened, reproduced, isolated, and routed bug reports. Debugged third party applications in the absence of program source code. Created and maintained test tools and testing infrastructure, including a graphical comparison-based debugging tool and a system/API call interposing suite. Used background in human computer interaction to contribute to other projects within the company.
Pennsylvania State University;
University Park, PA
Helped to coordinate senior-level courses on user interface design and development and cognitive modeling, a junior-level course on human-computer interaction, and a freshman-level survey course on information science and technology. Completed normal grading duties, created assignments and exams, held office hours, and conducted recitation sections. Performed research activities for faculty in the Applied Cognitive Science Laboratory.
Pennsylvania State University;
University Park, PA
Part of a team that created and implemented of a grid-computing-enabled thermodynamics tool which serves as an asynchronous, distributed software architecture for end-to-end materials design. Created an XML-based database system tying together system components.
