-Wrote an elaborate protocol on diluting samples and testing them on the softwar
e with other team members.
-Performed data analysis on error reports and wrote summaries of them.
-Isolated and reproduced software defects using ad hoc and computational testing
methodologies.
-Power Point presentation to systems validation group on certain critical error
reports.
Programmer/Researcher at CSUSB [4/2002-12/2003]
-Designed and implemented a large software metrics program in C++, using STL, va
rious search techniques and recursion to understand coding and design efficiency
in object oriented languages.
-Translated a large software project from Lisp into C++.

Statistical Analysis Internship at Orange County Water District

[3/1998-6/1998]
-Formed statistical analysis using MS Excel on a variety of parameters of conta
minated water samples.
