Bio

Hi there! I'm a UC Berkeley (Bachelor of Science, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science) & MIT (Master's degree in Computer Science) graduate, and have been a professional software engineer for about 30 years. I first started using Java over 20 years ago. As a software engineer, I've used Java for internal enterprise applications and consumer backend applications.

Hi there! I'm a UC Berkeley (Bachelor of Science, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science) & MIT (Master's degree in Computer Science) graduate, and have been a professional software engineer for about 30 years. I first started using Java over 20 years ago. As a software engineer, I've used Java for internal enterprise applications and consumer backend applications. I first started using React in 2013, when I was a senior software engineer at Netflix working on observability tooling. Before React, I worked with JQuery and EmberJS, two other Javascript frameworks.

When I was a graduate student at MIT, I was a teaching assistant for an undergraduate class in computer system engineering, and I helped students with their homework assignments. As a professional software engineer and manager, I've mentored junior engineers. As a tutor here at Wyzant, I'm hoping to help students and software engineers with any coding projects or computer science topics, including AP Computer Science. Please feel free to reach out to me and describe what you're looking for. I'll do my best to tailor my tutoring sessions to your needs.

Approved Subjects

Computer Programming

Computer Programming

I've been a software engineer for 30 years. I enjoy computer programming because it's a miniature world where I can create programs that run very fast, can impact many people, and will hopefully make people's lives easier. I've taught people about computer programming by being a teaching assistant in graduate school, and in my work experience when I was a mentor or on-boarding buddy.
Computer Science

Computer Science

I earned a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at UC Berkeley, with an emphasis in Computer Science. I earned a Master of Science in Computer Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where I did research in parallel computing, and was a teaching assistant. I have extensive knowledge of algorithms and data structures. My knowledge is very applicable to AP Computer Science A (Java) and AP Computer Science Principles. I have been programming with Java for over 20 years.
Java

Java

Over approximately the last 20 years as a professional software engineer, I've used Java for backend enterprise applications and backend consumer applications. My most recent experience was using Java with SpringBoot. I integrated with Cassandra (a NoSQL database) and Elasticsearch. I also used REST, gRPC, and GraphQL.
JavaScript

JavaScript

I've used Javascript in various front-end frameworks. Most recently, I've been using React when implementing enterprise observability tools. Before React, I worked with EmberJS and JQuery.
React

React

I used React to implement enterprise observability tools at Netflix. These tools were single-page Web applications that retrieved data from various backend systems by using REST and GraphQL, and had approximately 700 unique users per month. The backend systems were implemented in Java. For React, I have hands-on experience with hooks, state management libraries, data retrieval, and component design.
