Bio

I’m a software engineer with over 15 years of industry experience, and I genuinely enjoy helping people understand programming and math concepts that once seemed impossible.
My teaching background goes back to graduate school at UT Austin, where I was a TA for ME205—an introductory programming course for engineering freshmen. I taught Java, Matlab, and C to students who had never written a line of code. That experience earned me the H. G. Rylander, Jr. Excellence in Teaching Fellowship,...

I’m a software engineer with over 15 years of industry experience, and I genuinely enjoy helping people understand programming and math concepts that once seemed impossible.
My teaching background goes back to graduate school at UT Austin, where I was a TA for ME205—an introductory programming course for engineering freshmen. I taught Java, Matlab, and C to students who had never written a line of code. That experience earned me the H. G. Rylander, Jr. Excellence in Teaching Fellowship, awarded to a graduate student who excels as a leader and effective communicator in classroom teaching.
Since then, I’ve spent my career building software at companies like Apple, Charles River Development, and Standard Chartered Bank. I’ve led development teams, designed distributed systems, and mentored junior engineers. I know what it takes to write real code in the real world—and I know how to break down complex ideas so they actually make sense.
I work best with students who are stuck—whether it’s a CS assignment that isn’t clicking, a concept that the professor rushed through, or just needing someone patient to walk through the basics. I don’t do the work for you, but I’ll make sure you understand it well enough to do it yourself.

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

Many students struggle with Algebra not because they’re “bad at math,” but because earlier steps weren’t fully understood. I help students rebuild confidence by focusing on fundamentals and clear explanations. I work with linear equations, word problems, factoring, graphing, and test preparation. I take a patient, step-by-step approach and adjust my pace to the student, making sure they understand each step before moving on. My goal is not just to get the right answer, but to help students feel less anxious and more capable in math class.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

Algebra 2 often feels like a big jump—more abstract concepts, faster pacing, and less time to ask questions in class. I help students slow things down and understand what’s actually going on. I work with quadratic equations, functions, graphing, exponents, logarithms, and word problems. I focus on building intuition, not memorization, and I explain concepts in plain language. I’m patient and supportive, especially with students who feel behind or discouraged.
Computer Programming

Computer Programming

Learning to program can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re new or coming from a non–computer science background. I specialize in helping students build a clear mental model of how programs actually work—step by step. I work with beginners who are confused by variables, loops, conditionals, functions, and basic object-oriented concepts. My focus is on breaking things down simply and making sure you understand why something works, not just how to copy it. If you’re stuck on an assignment or feel lost in class, I’m patient, calm, and happy to slow things down until it clicks.
Computer Science

Computer Science

I help students understand core computer science concepts clearly and systematically, especially when classes move too fast or assume too much background. I work with topics such as algorithms, problem-solving, recursion, complexity (Big-O), and how code maps to underlying concepts. My focus is on building correct mental models—not memorizing answers or shortcuts. I’m especially helpful for students who feel lost in CS courses or understand syntax but not why things work. I explain concepts patiently and step by step, adapting to your pace and level. I won’t do assignments for you, but I’ll make sure you understand the ideas well enough to solve problems confidently on your own.

Java

Java

I’ve worked professionally with Java for over 12 years, building real-world systems at companies like Apple and in financial services. I help students who are stuck—not just with syntax, but with understanding why their code behaves the way it does. Common issues I help with include object-oriented design, debugging logic errors, collections, concurrency concepts, and assignments that “almost work but not quite.” I’m especially good at explaining complex ideas clearly and patiently, without rushing or talking down. I won’t write code for you, but I’ll make sure you understand the problem well enough to solve it yourself—and to avoid the same mistake next time.
SQL

SQL

I help students and professionals understand SQL in a practical, real-world way—whether you’re learning the basics or debugging queries that don’t return what you expect. I work with SELECT statements, joins, subqueries, aggregations, filtering, grouping, and query logic. I also help with understanding how SQL actually executes, so your queries become both correct and efficient. My background includes extensive professional use of SQL alongside Java in enterprise systems. I focus on explaining why a query behaves the way it does, not just how to make it pass once. I won’t write queries for you, but I’ll make sure you understand the logic well enough to build and debug them confidently on your own.
