"I hold a B.S. in Mathematics–Computer Science from UC San Diego, with coursework spanning advanced mathematics, algorithms, probability/statistics, computer systems, and machine learning. In addition, I have earned several technical certifications, including AWS Cloud Practitioner, AWS Developer Associate, AWS AI Practitioner, AWS Machine Learning Engineer with a AWS Data Engineer Associate in progress. This academic and professional background provides me with both strong analytical skills and the ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly.

In high school, I worked as a peer tutor supporting classmates in both mathematics and computer science, which gave me early experience explaining abstract ideas in ways that were approachable and engaging. I emphasized the connections between math and technology—for example, showing how algebraic thinking underpins programming logic, or how concepts in probability and statistics directly translate to data analysis and machine learning. This interdisciplinary approach helped students see the relevance of what they were learning beyond the classroom, and it continues to guide my tutoring style today: I focus not just on solving problems, but on showing how mathematical principles and computational tools reinforce one another in real-world contexts." less...
