I co-authored an introductory Python textbook, which was published in August 2020.
My teaching experience, with some details not found on my resume:

- 🤓 I contributed several PRs to the curriculum, and received positive feedback from curriculum engineers.
- July–December 2015: English Teaching Fellow at the Ifakara Health Institute in Tanzania 🇹🇿

- 🚙 see the Tanzania folder for a somewhat humorous presentation I made with the intent of demonstrating non-standard methods of visualizing data
I regularly guide colleagues in using git/GitHub, writing clear & concise SQL queries, and setting up software (EC2 instances, Data Grip, R/Python environments, ssh aliases, etc.).
I have presented at several conferences. Highlights include the 2018 SAS Global Forum and the 2013 IEEE robotics conference. See my Publications/ and Photos/ folders for a sample of relevant files, and additional details at paulkaefer.com/publications.
