Work Experience
6/94-present	I invented the Internet Kiosk, and now run a small business based around my creation.  The Kiosk is a turnkey system which allows its user to easily navigate the Internet via touch-screen.  Customers may use the kiosk for a certain period of time per dollar spent.  While connected, they can check out local and global information via the WWW, peruse USENET newsgroups, chat with others around the world, and check electronic mail from their choice of on-line service.   The kiosk is currently installed in a local cafe, Cafe Diem.  More are planned to be installed around the Atlanta area in the near future.  The Kiosk was recently featured in the Atlanta Journal & Constitution newspaper.  The second version of the kiosk is being designed and will run under Linux (a free UNIX distribution for the PC-clone platform).

9/94-present	At the Georgia Institute of Technology in the Graphics, Visualization, & Usability lab, I am working with the animation group as we attempt to enter another animation into SIGGRAPH's electronic theater. I am working with Alias Studio, teaching art students how to use the package.  I am also working with another team member to rewrite the User Interface to our dynamic simulation package.  It is now curses/GL based.  We are moving it to a C++/Inventor/Tk (for the interface) environment.

10/94	I linked a MOO (simple networked text-based virtual reality) to Mosaic, so that each object in the MOO can reference a separate Mosaic page, thus lending distributed multimedia capability to a MOO.

1/94-4/94	At the Georgia Institute of Technology in the Graphics, Visualization, & Usability lab, I collaborated with the dynamic modeling animation team to enter an animation, the Public Service Announcement,  into SIGGRAPH's electronic theater event.  To help, I modeled various items with Wavefront, and coordinated a couple of the scenes, setting up the scene,  and deciding what path the camera should take through it.

6/92 - 9/92	At Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty in Munich, Germany, I worked in the Information Systems Division as a microcomputer trainer / consultant.  I planned and taught Macintosh Operating System and Microsoft Word courses to RFE / RL employees. My other duties included troubleshooting Macintosh hardware, software, and network problems.  

6/91 - 3/92	At the Morehouse School of Medicine, I worked as the primary Sun System Administrator.  My duties included:  Setting up the school’s cross-platform email system (POP-based serving a Mac/Unix/VMS environment, using SMTP and a gateway for access to the Internet), implementing the network's file sharing, enabling the school’s library information service (running on VMS) to be accessed from the Suns, writing backup scripts, teaching users how to use the system, and writing manuals on how to navigate through the system's SunOS 4.1.1 (UN*X) environment.

6/89 - 10/91	In the Emory University Computer Labs, I worked as a Computer Lab Representative.  My functions included assisting lab users with the use of various Macintosh programs, helping computer science students get around in the VMS & Unix environments, all the way to troubleshooting network & hardware problems.
