I’m a software engineer with over 2 years of full-time experience at BlackRock, one of the world’s top fintech firms. I have a Computer Science degree from Brooklyn College and specialize in data structures, algorithms, and modern web development using TypeScript, JavaScript, and React.

I love helping college students and aspiring engineers truly understand CS fundamentals. Whether you're struggling with assignments, prepping for coding interviews, or trying to build full-stack apps, I tailor sessions to meet your needs.

I’ve worked with 12+ long-term tutoring clients and have experience tutoring:
Data Structures & Algorithms (C++ and Javascript especially)
Intro to Programming (any language)
Web Development (React, APIs, debugging in any language)
Object Oriented Programming

While working at BlackRock, I regularly pair-programmed with engineers and debugged 100+ real-world issues—experience I bring to every tutoring session. I can also help with:
Building and troubleshooting React apps
Understanding core JS/TS concepts like closures, async/await, DOM, etc.
Debugging and reviewing code for assignments or personal projects
Whiteboard/interview prep using Leetcode, HackerRank, and mock questions

I'm patient, kind, and focused on helping you build deep understanding. Coming from a low-income background, I’m committed to offering affordable, high-quality tutoring and sharing the resources that helped me succeed.

Let’s work together—I’m here to help you reach your goals!

Expert Technical Interview Coaching

Allina is incredibly helpful with tailoring prep to your specific goals. In just one session, I feel like I made more progress than I did in hours of studying on my own. She is great at teaching how to approach problems rather than just memorizing solutions, teaching how to outline thought processes clearly for interviewers, and providing tips specifically for live technical situations. And I feel like I was able to challenge myself and work through a problem with help that did not give away the answer but got me thinking on the right track to come to it--the most useful way to learn this sort of thing in my opinion, because now I feel like I am better equipped to solve similar problems solo afterward. If you want not only experience solving LeetCode problems but also guidance on feeling comfortable in a technical interview, I highly recommend her!!
