Computer

Macintosh,

Macintosh

In past jobs, ranging from academic research to public libraries, I have been responsible for maintaining, upgrading, troubleshooting and providing user assistance for Apple computers. I am familiar with the system architecture and file organization of Mac OS X and FreeBSD, the UNIX variant upon which it is based. I also familiar with Mac hardware configurations on Macs, iMacs and Powerbooks, including storage, memory, expansion slots and other interfaces. This experience and expertise would allow me to assist students with Macintosh issues at any level and virtually any context.
SQL

SQL

In addition to a PhD in Neuroscience, I have a MS in Information Science, which included formal training in database design, data modeling and SQL. I have built and configured several enterprise-class databases using MySQL, MariaDB and PostgreSQL, including graphical interfaces for database management, a suite of SQL query templates and a set of scripts for automating common tasks, like data insertion and database backups.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Rick really took the time to understand the information that I was struggling with, and he explained it in a way that helped me internalize it and apply it to other areas of learning. He is very knowledgeable, professional, patient, and encouraging. I highly recommend him and plan to use his tutoring services in the future should I need them.

More than SQL

I'm having fun working with Rick - he is able to see the "big picture" and to understand the "why" from some complicated and interrelated projects - and then recommend possible directions. I have a feeling we are going to accomplish some cool things working together.
