EXPERIENCE
----------

University of Michigan Department of EECS, Ann Arbor, Michigan
Grader, 2007
Graded Prof. Yaoyun Shi's complexity theory course, which I took in 2006.
The appointment was an honor, because I was an undergrad asked to grade a
graduate course. Student papers consisted of intricate proofs of the
complexity properties of algorithms, and resisted easy grading. I wrote
constructive feedback to students when awarding grades.

Paces Personnel, Inc., Atlanta, Georgia
Temporary, 2003-2004
Served as a specialist temporary, deployed in higher-level problem solving
or coordinating roles. Informally managed lower-level staff temporaries.
Arrived at chaotic jobsites, quickly imposed order, and delivered results
to the client.

Leapfrog Services, Inc., Atlanta, Georgia
Network Services Field Engineer, 1998-1999
Designed, implemented, and supported computer networks and provided
consulting and integration services to SMBs. Delivered a series of

of the Y2K bug.
