keen to learn, motivated to contribute.

Shengliang S.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) and a Master's degree in Computer Science, both of which have provided me with a strong technical foundation. Over the course of my career, I have accumulated over 20 years of professional experience at major technology companies including Cisco Systems, Broadcom, Google, Amazon, and Microsoft. This extensive experience has enabled me to develop a deep understanding of various technical fields, such as embedded systems, databases, and cloud computing.

In addition to my industry experience, I have had the opportunity to teach at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) Extension, where I led courses on embedded systems. I have also taught computer architecture at San Jose State University. My teaching experience spans different contexts, from formal university classrooms to personalized one-on-one tutoring, covering a wide range of topics in computer science and engineering. I have worked with students of all ages and backgrounds, from beginners to advanced learners, helping them build their understanding and confidence in subjects like C/C++, mock interviews, computer architecture, databases, and Kubernetes.

What sets me apart as a tutor is my ability to blend real-world industry insights with academic knowledge. My professional background allows me to offer students a practical perspective that is often missing in standard academic environments. I strive to make complex concepts more accessible by relating them to actual industry practices, preparing my students not just for exams but for real-world problem-solving. Whether I am guiding students through coding challenges or helping them prepare for technical interviews, I aim to create an engaging and supportive learning environment that fosters growth and self-assurance in their abilities.
