"I specialize in helping with computer science and programming assignments, as well as troubleshooting technical issues. I have tutored many students in AP Computer Science A, C, C++, PHP, Python, Java, code.org, microbit.org, MySQL, MariaDB, Cybersecurity, WordPress, Technical support for Windows and Apple Macintosh, Bash, SQL, Android development, Linux, Unix, Docker, Wix, and Android Studio.

Some critical skills I believe all software engineers can learn from me is how to read code, debug code using debuggers, how to take a project from an assignment, break down the project into small solvable pieces and not be overwhelmed.

For students who are do not have technical backgrounds, I can teach you how to vibe code and agentic coding using the latest AI tools such as Anthrophic Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VSCode with Gemini, ChatGPT, Lovable, V0. I can show you on how launch these toy apps into production (Firebase, Google Cloud Platform, AWS, Azure) and be used by hundreds of other people. I will teach you how to follow good engineering processes and good practices while using AI coding. I have been helping 20+ students with getting their vibe code projects to production app stores or web sites.

I hold a degree in Computer Science from the University of California, Berkeley, and bring over 30 years of experience as a software engineer for high tech companies such as Yahoo, Splunk. In industry, I build high performant websites, and build tools and train engineers to be more productive.

I focus on hands-on practice to help solidify and internalize learning. Nothing beats getting your hands dirty with the code.

My approach to tutoring involves reviewing assignments or syllabi with students, identifying where they face the most challenges, and using open-ended questions and discussions to foster active learning. I help students build critical thinking skills and problem-solving strategies, with a focus on writing and debugging code." less...
