About William


Bio

I hold a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from MIT. In high school, I scored a 5 on all five of my AP exams and graduated 2nd in my class, earning the Rensselaer Medal for excellence in math and science.
I began tutoring in high school, working one-on-one with classmates preparing for AP exams. That experience taught me how to break down complex material into digestible pieces — and how to reverse-engineer what the test is actually looking for.

I began tutoring in high school, working one-on-one with classmates preparing for AP exams. That experience taught me how to break down complex material into digestible pieces — and how to reverse-engineer what the test is actually looking for.
I've built cash concentration software on Wall Street, served as technical lead on award-winning EA Sports titles, and spent 6+ years as Android Platform Lead at Zwift.
My signature method is backward design: we start at the end. Before writing a single line of logic, we think. We write the return statement, or base case. We verify parameters and input assumptions.

This works especially well for recursion, loops, and method design — the exact places ComSci students get lost. Rather than staring at a blank function, students always have a foothold. We work from known ground toward the unknown.

I hold a degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from MIT, where I completed my undergraduate thesis at the AI Lab under the legendary Marvin Minsky. My professional background includes over 25 years of industry leadership as a Lead Programmer and Technical Director for global franchises like James Bond (EA/MGM) and NBA Live (EA Sports). I specialize in building students confidence, with intuitive models and lessons gleaned from real-world experience. Beyond just passing the exam, I mentor students on how to write professional-grade code, think like a world-class engineer, and thrive on a team.

I was the Android Platform lead at Zwift. I ported the game to Android and did life cycle maintenance with a very heavy use of Java and C++.
