About Maureen


Bio

I hold both a BS and MS in Computer Science and have spent over 30 years designing, building, and leading complex software systems. While I currently serve as a Senior Director in technology, my passion has always been hands-on development, problem solving, and helping others truly understand how systems work. I was honored to receive the Women in Technology & Data Engineer/Programmer of the Year award in 2019, recognizing both technical excellence and impact.

I hold both a BS and MS in Computer Science and have spent over 30 years designing, building, and leading complex software systems. While I currently serve as a Senior Director in technology, my passion has always been hands-on development, problem solving, and helping others truly understand how systems work. I was honored to receive the Women in Technology & Data Engineer/Programmer of the Year award in 2019, recognizing both technical excellence and impact.

My experience includes programming in Python, Java, and Perl, as well as designing and working with databases including Oracle, MongoDB, and SQL Server. Throughout my career, I have applied data structures, algorithms, and database principles in real production environments where performance, scalability, and reliability truly matter.

When I tutor, my goal is not simply to help you finish an assignment, but to help you understand how and why a solution works. I enjoy breaking down complex topics such as recursion, Big-O analysis, query optimization, and system design into clear, structured explanations. I have worked one-on-one with college students and understand the pressure that comes with challenging technical coursework.

My approach is analytical and patient — we will walk through problems step by step, explore trade-offs, and strengthen your ability to think independently. Whether you are preparing for exams, improving your programming skills, or trying to truly grasp foundational concepts, I aim to help you build confidence and long-term problem-solving ability.

Approved Subjects

Computer Science

Computer Science

I have over 30 years of experience designing and building production software systems across multiple architectures and technology stacks. My work has included hands-on development in Python, Java, and Perl, as well as designing and optimizing relational and NoSQL database solutions using Oracle, SQL Server, and MongoDB. I have extensive experience working with data structures, algorithms, debugging complex issues, and thinking through performance and scalability considerations. In addition to industry work, I have provided one-on-one tutoring to college students, helping them strengthen their understanding of programming fundamentals and develop structured problem-solving skills.
Data Structures

Data Structures

I have extensive experience working with core data structures including arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, hash tables, and graphs in real-world software systems. Throughout my career, I have applied data structure and algorithm principles to solve performance, scalability, and memory management challenges in production environments. I focus on helping students understand not just how a structure works, but why and when to use it, including time and space complexity trade-offs. In one-on-one tutoring sessions, I guide students through implementation, debugging, and Big-O analysis to build both conceptual clarity and practical confidence.
Oracle

Oracle

I have extensive experience working with Oracle in roles including DBA, Database Engineer, and Senior Director of Data Engineering and Architecture. My background includes database architecture design, performance tuning, query optimization, indexing strategies, data modeling, and production support in complex enterprise environments. I have worked hands-on with SQL, PL/SQL, and performance diagnostics, helping teams improve scalability, reliability, and efficiency. In tutoring sessions, I focus on helping students understand not just how to write queries, but how databases actually execute them — including execution plans, indexing trade-offs, normalization, and real-world performance considerations.
