My journey into technology began at California State University Northridge, where I earned my Bachelor's degree in Computer Information Systems with a focus on Software Technology in 2023. During my time at university, I developed a strong foundation in data structures and algorithms, learning how to analyze algorithmic complexity and approach technical challenges systematically. I also learned Java during my academic years, gaining experience with object-oriented programming principles that would prove essential in my professional career.
After graduation, I joined Amazon as a Software Development Engineer, where I expanded my technical skills while learning industry-standard technologies. I mastered JavaScript and TypeScript while building full-stack applications with React, Redux, and Node.js. My professional experience taught me to design complete features from end to end, including writing technical design documents, building RESTful APIs, and deploying production code. Throughout this journey, I've mentored junior engineers, guiding them through code reviews, explaining architectural decisions, and helping them debug challenging issues. These mentorship experiences revealed my passion for teaching. I found immense satisfaction in helping colleagues understand complex topics like state management patterns and optimization techniques.
I'm excited to work with students in mathematics, computer science, and STEM subjects. My tutoring approach emphasizes understanding foundational concepts, using real-world examples, and adapting to each student's learning style. I focus on building genuine comprehension rather than rote memorization, creating a supportive environment where questions are welcomed and mistakes are learning opportunities.
