  \textit{Instructional Apprentice (IA), Teaching Assistant (TA)}

  \begin{itemize}
  \item \textsf{\small SE 212} (Logic and Computation): IA in Fall
    2019, TA in Fall 2018

  \textit{Teaching Assistant}

  \begin{itemize}
  \item I was a TA for \textsf{\small EECS 1012}, Net-Centric
    Introduction to Computing, taught by Dr. Brown.
  \end{itemize}

  \pagebreak

\item {\large Software Engineering Lab, } York University\, |\, {\small summer
  2017}

  \textit{Research Assistant}

  \begin{itemize}
  \item I worked on an implementation of
    \href{https://bertrandmeyer.com/2014/12/07/lampsort/}{\textit{Lampsort}} in
    Eiffel. I also extended the
    \href{https://svn.eecs.yorku.ca/repos/sel-open/mathmodels/}{\texttt{mathmodels}}
    library, implementing a \textsc{rational} class for working with arbitrarily
    large rational numbers.
  \end{itemize}

\item {\large Software Engineering Lab, } York University\, |\, {\small summer
    2016}

  \textit{Research Student}

  \begin{itemize}
  \item As an undergraduate research student, I worked on \textit{Literate
      Unit-B}, the verifier for Unit-B, a new formal method focused on formal
    verification of reactive, concurrent and distributed systems.

    From the Literate Unit-B codebase (written in Haskell), I decoupled the
    logic module and used it to build \textit{Unit-B Web}, a web interface using
    Literate Unit-B to do predicate calculus proofs.  Unit-B Web, also
    written in Haskell, supports the \LaTeX\ syntax of the Unit-B logic, renders
    user input on the page, and calls the sequent prover of the logic module,
    which uses the \textsc{z3 smt} solver to check the validity of user input.

  \item Further, I separated Literate Unit-B's type checker from its parser,
    allowing easier substitution of other type checking algorithms and in
    preparation for implementing subtyping.
  \end{itemize}
