a casual resume

People often ask me, "what do you program in?" The answer these days is either 'python' or 'javascript.' For a while it was 'lisp' or 'ruby' and for another brief while it was 'matlab' or 'java.' when i was younger, the answer was 'php' and 'sql.' before that, though, i would say 'basic' or 'c'. although nobody really asked me back then.

I have been lucky enough to mostly program in very high level languages (scheme included), so i have missed out on the joys of malloc or clearing out registers or pretty much anything like that. i have written code for a pic, but i wouldn't say that i know how to program for any architecture, as everything i do seems to be pretty portable

I took mit's teacher education program during which time i observed at cambridge rindge latin + science, buckingham brown + nichols middle school and student taught at arlington high school. As i was not planning on teaching secondary school in the near future, i did not pick up a credential.

Before i graduated from MIT, i worked as a line cook or 'chef garde manger,' at 400 Highland in davis square. I worked with some really talented folks: seth amsden, kim prue, andrew bridge, zach lord, and briefly mike penna. The experience made me a better cook than i ever imagined. I stopped working there to start doing full time graphic design work.

While i started doing graphic design work, i began teaching html, css and other random web technologies at the center for digital imaging arts at boston university.

That's about it, except for the fact that i'm going to grad school in the fall to pursue an mfa in graphic design. woo!
