Most of my students were learning Java, C++, or Python. • Instead of simply providing them with the solution, I explained the underlying concepts more clearly, and then walked through a code implementation. This provided a better learning experience. ### Product Specialist @ Living Spaces Furniture Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Millbrae, California, United States ### Sales Associate @ UNIQLO Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | San Mateo, California, United States ### Sales Associate @ The North Face Jan 2018 – Jan 2018 | Burlingame, California, United States ### Customer Service / Cashier @ Panera Bread Jan 2017 – Jan 2018 | Millbrae, California, United States ### Barista @ Tpumps Jan 2017 – Jan 2017 | Burlingame, California, United States ### Costumer Service / Cashier @ Whole Foods Market Jan 2016 – Jan 2017 | San Mateo, California, United States ## Education ### Bachelor of Science - BS in Computer Science University of California, Davis Jan 2020 – Jan 2022 ### Associate of Science - AS in Computer Science College of San Mateo Jan 2016 – Jan 2020 ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/ssmoto - Website: https://soundcloud.com/ibow3music - Website: https://www.flickr.com/photos/143158696@N08/ --- Source: https://flows.cv/shelbysakamoto JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/shelbysakamoto/resume.json Last updated: 2026-03-22
