"I have a background in Computer Engineering and currently work as a Senior Software Engineer, where I design and build real-world software systems used in production. My education gave me a strong foundation in programming, data structures, algorithms, and computer systems, while my professional experience has deepened my understanding of how these concepts are applied in practice. I regularly work with backend systems, APIs, distributed workflows, and problem-solving at scale, which allows me to help students connect theoretical concepts to practical use cases.

In addition to my industry experience, I have hands-on teaching and tutoring experience through volunteer work in computer science classrooms. I have worked with high school students in a classroom setting, supporting lessons in introductory programming and computer science concepts, and helping students build confidence as they learn to think logically and break down problems. This experience has taught me how to adapt explanations for different learning styles and ages, and how to guide students step by step rather than simply giving answers. I have experience teaching both one-on-one and small group settings, and I enjoy helping students who feel intimidated by computer science gain clarity and momentum.

My tutoring approach focuses on understanding how a student thinks before choosing how to explain a concept. I emphasize fundamentals, clear mental models, and practical examples, while encouraging students to ask questions and reason through problems themselves. Whether I am helping a student with introductory programming, preparing for a computer science course, or strengthening problem-solving skills, my goal is to make complex ideas approachable and to help students build confidence that carries beyond a single assignment or exam." less...
