I am a software engineer, game programmer, and tutor with an MS in Interactive Entertainment Programming from the Florida Interactive Entertainment Academy at the University of Central Florida. I studied at the University of Florida for my undergraduate degree, a BS in Computer Science with a minor in Digital Arts & Sciences, and graduated cum laude. At UF, I was a member of the Honors Program and was awarded a merit-based full scholarship.
I worked for 2 years as a game programmer and am now an onsite computer science and math tutor with the Academic Success Center of a state college, where I help students with courses including introductory computer science, various programming languages, data structures & algorithms, introductory and intermediate algebra, trigonometry, and calculus. I also help students, staff, and faculty with microcomputer applications such as Microsoft Office and Google Workspace.
I have worked with numerous programming languages (C, C++, C#, Java, Python, and even 68k assembly) during undergraduate and graduate studies, and in my subsequent employment. I used not only game development concepts (including vector mathematics and game physics), but also general programming knowledge such as data structures and algorithms. I have extensive experience in Unity and Unreal game engines.
My undergraduate math courses included Calculus 1 to 3, Linear Algebra, Numerical Analysis, Engineering Statistics, and Discrete Math. My GRE Math score was 169 out of 170 possible points.
As a tutor, I try to explain the material in a way that allows the student to understand why each step is important. I walk them through the problem while helping them to figure out each step themselves. I feel this will make them more confident and successful when they are tested on the material and eventually use it in their careers.
I look forward to helping students and adult learners with their computer science and math work!
