Tech content specialist - MATLAB

I like to puzzle about the best way to explain something. When I was a builder, I'd give my crews cut-lists and assembly instructions produced by Autocad LISP programs. At first they thought it was crazy but in the end they had developed a deeper understanding about building.

I went on to different kinds of teams where well crafted code contained within it the explanation and by 2AM we were using every available machine at BU to run our MATLAB simulations: models of the brain for memory, vision and recognition.

As a teacher, you are not really creating a team but more a positive atmosphere where everyone supports everyone else and students felt comfortable taking risks. It was here where I really tuned in on how stage my writing and speaking to optimize understanding in the class in front of you.

I am interested in the job. I like writing and puzzling out how to meet the needs of my audience. Please consider me for this position. You might find one of my class websites useful in assessing my writing. Try: http://www.pathboston.com/hum3. As evidence of familiarity with programming languages you could check my repository at https://github.com/mckennatim.

Thanks for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Tim McKenna
