OBJECTIVE

Challenging work that will utilize my skills, stengthen and/or broaden my experience, and satisfy my need to solve problems and accomplish new things using a computer.

SKILLS

EXPERIENCE

  • Office Assistant at Longwood High School. In this capacity, I showed secretaries and administrators how to use features of their application programs, and how to correct various problems.

  • For the past five semesters, I have served as a Lab Assistant at Suffolk County Community College for the CM-41 and CM-35 courses in web site design. My job was to help the students create, correct, and debug their HTML and javascript codes.

  • Computer consultant to two local Long Island companies, installing software, configuring systems, creating graphics and audio files, web pages, etc. (One is a marine engineering company; the other is a law firm.) Also did media, computer, and database work for a candidate for election to the NY state legislature, 1998.

  • I have written three of my own multimedia web pages, including my main homepage at: http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Lab/9111/

  • I have been an administrator of a mud (Multi User Dungeon), After participating as a player, I was promoted to administrator by demonstrating my knowledge to the site managers.

  • I wrote several modules ("worlds") for a game engine utilizing a 4th generation programming language. The engine is known as ZZT. I have a shareware copy of it and would like to demonstrate some of the levels I wrote, as well of those of a student whom I mentored. (I taught him to program in this engine, and he has done some nice work using it.)

  • I am in the process of writing a new module (world) for a more-advanced engine called megazeux. This module recreates an 8-bit Nintendo game called the Legend of ZeldaTM. I taught my friend (the same one) to use this engine as well, and have one of his works here in two forms: the original he wrote, and the modifications I made to it. I would be pleased to demonstrate the most recent version of my reproduction of Zelda, along with the original cartridge Nintendo version.
