"The Real World" I started my post-college career with Intel Corporation in July 1999, at their Hillsboro, Oregon site. I spent my first year in their Rotation Engineers Program, which allows participants to select three four-month rotations in different areas of the company. In April 2000, I relocated to the Chandler, Arizona site for my third rotation, and decided to final place in the same group -- I am currently a Senior Technical Marketing Engineer in the Embedded Intel Architecture Division, supporting customers designing systems with the Intel® Pentium® 4 and Xeon® processors. Internships and Co-op IBM I spent eight months during 1998 in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, working for "big blue", IBM. My major project was performance analysis for a mobile networking software product. If you're looking for the 1998 IBM RTP Co-ops Email List, please email me. I've taken it down due to exploitation by spammers. Rumken, Inc. My summer internship in 1997 was with Rumken, Inc. in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. I worked primarily with Oracle databases, and I also spent some time with Windows software development. Lightstream Internet, Inc. My first college internship was with Lightstream Internet, Inc. in 1996. It was very interesting to be there from the start, even before the ISP opened for business. I did web design, for Lightstream's own site as well as its customers', technical support, and some system administration. Other College-Related Positions National Center for Microgravity Research I was the webmaster for NCMR from 1997 to 1999, designing the first major revision of their web site. In mid-1999, I stepped back to be a technical consultant. CWRUnet Services I worked for CWRUnet Services during my first three years as a student at CWRU, doing web design, network support, and network software development. Pre-College (but still at least remotely career-related) CWRUnet Services My high school had a senior project program, wherein students worked at a site of their choice for the last four weeks of senior year. In May 1999, I worked at CWRUnet Services, where I saw the graphical web for the first time (my prior experience had been limited to text-based Lynx), and first learned HTML and web site design. This site and its companion, The Pacer Page, were born during this month. This senior project also led to my position with CWRUnet Services as a college student. University Circle Incorporated Summer Scholars Program During the summer of 1995, just prior to starting college, I designed and taught a five-week computer workshop to inner-city Cleveland high school students. This was the first year the internet was included in the course, so in addition to introducing the students to computer basics and applications, they spent a great deal of time learning about email, the web, and web design. High School Independent Study Needing to fill a hole in my schedule during my senior year of high school, I decided to take on an independent study. I designed a six-week series of seminars on the internet, for teachers and administrators in my school district. About 40 "students" participated. Other High School Jobs Express I worked at Express, the women's clothing store, for about a year in high school. I learned how to fold clothes. McDonald's I did the obligatory food service job at McDonald's for nearly two years in high school. |
