I am a software junkie, so, depending on EECS's needs, I'd be thrilled to
help with what I can.  I generally program for fun, just to see what kinds
of neat things I can create, but I have also programmed for specifications,
usually for friends and teachers.

I am willing to do grunge work like system backups--I've done more
menial tasks at Summer Camp and I didn't mind.  On the other hand, I'd
like to have an opportunity to learn new things and use my existing
abilities to provide new and exciting challenges for me (i.e. have fun).

I also enjoy teaching and writing, so if nothing else, I'd enjoy
documentation.  I admit I don't know what level of expertise
User Consulting will require, but if I qualify, I enjoy helping people
whenever possible.

In summary, I am willing to do whatever I can, but enthusiastic about
programming.

I was a volunteer in all of the following except for teaching Pre-calculus
and for the last summer teaching at summer camp,

\begin{tabular}{rl}
1989 Winter: & Helped a friend document 4-D program for United Way\\\
1989 Summer: & Taught Pre-Calculus through Ed. Studies Program (MIT) to\\
 & high school students\\
1989 Summer: & Wrote program to illustrate sinusoids and conic sections\\
 & and the effects of changing their parameters, used to help teach pre-calc.\\
1988 Fall: & Debugged a database apodb for APO\\
1986-1988 Summers: & Taught at Boy Scout summer camp\\
1988 Spring: & Wrote educational tool to help students with poetry\\
1985-1988 Spring: & Won each section entered for BYUH H.S. Computer Competition\\
1984-1986: & Maintained a 300/1200 Baud BBS on Apple II+ (wrote own program)\\
1982 Summer: & Got Apple II+, learned BASIC\\
\end{tabular}

I've played with electronics, although I have never had any formal training
in it.  I've reached the stage where I don't consistently break boards
when I take out the chips in order to sketch out a schematic.  I've designed
and breadboarded, and in one case, etched and soldered, a couple simple digital
circuits that I later discovered were already ready-made in a single chip. 
In short, I've played with electronics at an amateur level.

I have, however, taught extensively, ranging from one-on-one tutoring to
teaching a class of forty, ranging from in the woods to in a classroom,
ranging from mammals to Pascal to four-dimensional projections to homotopy
theory.  I enjoy teaching a subject I can share.  In fact, this summer, I
will be teaching physics to high school students during the evening, which,
I believe, should not conflict with this job.
