Bio

I graduated from Northeastern University in 2026 with a B.S. in Computer Engineering, a 3.95 GPA and a 4.0 in my major, Dean's List every semester, and inducted into Tau Beta Pi and Eta Kappa Nu. My degree required the full calculus sequence, differential equations, linear algebra, and calculus-based physics, and I used all of it in a prototype engineering co-op building and testing hardware.

I graduated from Northeastern University in 2026 with a B.S. in Computer Engineering, a 3.95 GPA and a 4.0 in my major, Dean's List every semester, and inducted into Tau Beta Pi and Eta Kappa Nu. My degree required the full calculus sequence, differential equations, linear algebra, and calculus-based physics, and I used all of it in a prototype engineering co-op building and testing hardware.

I founded Code For You in 2020 and ran it for three years, offering free Python instruction to students without access to technical resources. I designed the curriculum and taught more than 100 students, mostly middle and high schoolers, in small groups and one-on-one. Ninety percent finished the course. Students do not drop out because the material is too hard. They drop out when they stop believing they can get it, so most of my job was catching that moment early and changing the approach before a student decided they were bad at this.

I teach by asking questions rather than lecturing, because I want to find the exact place where the understanding breaks instead of re-explaining something a student already knows. I ask students to talk through their reasoning out loud, including on wrong answers, since the wrong answer usually shows me more than the right one. I work well with students who have decided they are not math people, because that is almost always a confidence problem rather than an ability one.

Approved Subjects

Algebra 2

Algebra 2

Algebra 2 is the foundation everything in my degree was built on. I went through the full calculus sequence, differential equations, and linear algebra at Northeastern with a 4.0 in my major, and functions, logs, and quadratics are things I still use rather than things I memorized once. I taught more than 100 middle and high school students through Code For You, the nonprofit I founded and ran for three years, where 90 percent finished the course. Algebra 2 is usually where students decide whether they are a math person, and most of the ones I work with are not stuck on the material so much as convinced they cannot do it.
Calculus

Calculus

I took the full calculus sequence, differential equations, and linear algebra at Northeastern with a 4.0 in my major, then used all of it in a prototype engineering co-op building and testing hardware. Most students who struggle in calculus are not actually stuck on calculus. They are stuck on the algebra and trig underneath it, and the derivative rules turn out to be fine once you find the real gap, so my early sessions are usually spent locating that rather than drilling more problems. Because I used this math rather than only studying it, I can answer what a derivative or an integral is actually for, which matters more than it sounds once a student has decided the subject is arbitrary. I taught more than 100 middle and high school students through Code For You, the nonprofit I founded and ran for three years, where 90 percent finished the course.
Linear Algebra

Linear Algebra

I took linear algebra as part of my computer engineering degree at Northeastern, where I earned a 4.0 in my major, and used it downstream in differential equations, signals and systems, and machine learning coursework. Linear algebra is the course where students who were fine at calculus suddenly stall, because it is the first math class that asks you to think in abstractions rather than procedures, and a matrix stops being a grid of numbers and starts being a transformation. That shift is where almost everyone gets stuck, so I spend a lot of time on what an operation is actually doing geometrically before touching computation, since eigenvectors and change of basis stay meaningless until that clicks. I taught more than 100 middle and high school students through Code For You, the nonprofit I founded and ran for three years, where 90 percent finished the course.
Physics

Physics

I took the AP Physics 1 and 2 in high school, as well as calculus-based physics sequence at Northeastern University as part of a computer engineering degree, finishing with a 4.0 in my major. I then used mechanics and circuits directly in a prototype engineering co-op building and testing hardware. I taught over 100 middle and high school students through Code For You, the nonprofit I founded and ran for three years, where 90 percent finished the course.
Python

Python

I founded Code For You in 2020 and ran it for three years, teaching free Python to students without access to technical resources. I designed the curriculum myself and taught more than 100 students, mostly middle and high schoolers, in small groups and one-on-one, and 90 percent finished the course. Designing a first Python sequence for a student with no background is the specific problem I spent three years solving, and what I learned is that beginners rarely quit over syntax. They quit when the exercises have no point, so I build toward a project the student actually wants to make and introduce variables, loops, conditionals and functions as the things standing between them and finishing it. I also hold a B.S. in Computer Engineering from Northeastern with a 3.95 overall GPA (and 4.0 in my major), so I can take a student well past the beginner stage into data structures and algorithms.
SAT Math

SAT Math

I scored 790 on SAT Math and went on to a computer engineering degree at Northeastern with a 4.0 in my major. SAT Math is not actually a hard math test, it is a timed test with a small set of recurring question types and traps, and most students lose points to pacing and careless errors rather than to material they do not know. That means a lot of my work is diagnostic: figuring out whether a missed question was a concept gap, a misread, or a time problem, because all three look identical on a score report and need completely different fixes. I taught more than 100 middle and high school students through Code For You, the nonprofit I founded and ran for three years, where 90 percent finished the course.
