Bio

I'm a software engineer at a Fintech company where I build backend systems for card issuing. Before that, I was a backend software engineer at a large bank. I worked on their scheduled transfers platform, enabling hundreds of millions of dollars to be reliably moved every day. And before that, I was at SAP building both backend and machine learning systems.

I'm a software engineer at a Fintech company where I build backend systems for card issuing. Before that, I was a backend software engineer at a large bank. I worked on their scheduled transfers platform, enabling hundreds of millions of dollars to be reliably moved every day. And before that, I was at SAP building both backend and machine learning systems.

I hold my undergraduate degree from Temple University, where I studied computer science and mathematics. While in school, I spent a year working in deep learning research for computer vision. I also spent two years teaching AP Computer Science A and AP Computer Science Principles at a local high school. I have an AWS Associate Solutions Architect certification.

I'd love to get to know you and understand your learning goals and how I can help you meet them. And if I can't, I'd love to point you in the right direction!

Here's some of the topics I can help with: programming languages (Python, Java, Ruby, C, and some others), computer science fundamentals (data structures, algorithms, operating systems, etc.), software engineering (patterns/antipatterns, system design, interviewing, cloud computing), databases (SQL, Mongo, Neo4j, etc.), and data science/machine learning.

Approved Subjects

C

C

I taught myself how to program in C when I was 14. Since then, I've used C both in coursework and for personal projects. This includes projects like a networked spell checker, linear algebra problem set generator, and an esoteric programming language interpreter. I continue to work in C for personal use and in C-family languages as a software engineer intern.
Computer Programming

Computer Programming

I first taught myself how to program in Python over 7 years ago. Since then, I've also taught myself Java, C, C++, MATLAB, and bits and pieces of other languages as needed. I use a variety of different programming languages on a daily basis for machine learning research, my work as software engineer intern at SAP, and for personal projects.
Computer Science

Computer Science

I started programming in Python over 7 years ago. Along the way, I've picked up C, C++, Java, MATLAB, and more. Currently, I work as a Software Engineer at SAP where I use Java on a daily basis to develop backend applications.
Data Science

Data Science

I've been using Python for Data Science for more than 7 years now. This includes building deep neural networks in Python for computer vision, various data collecting and cleaning, and more. I now work as a machine learning engineer.
Discrete Math

Discrete Math

I'm a junior computer science and mathematics student at Temple University, where I've taken several semesters of discrete mathematics courses. I've been tutoring in discrete math for over 3 years.
Java

Java

I taught myself how to program in Java 7 years ago. While I've used it in a variety of academic applications (such as data processing, web scraping, and more), I predominantly use it as a backend software engineer intern at SAP, the third largest software company in the world. At SAP, I engineer the backend of mobile enterprise software for internal uses.
Linux

Linux

As a software engineer, I work in Linux environments on a daily basis. This experience spans managing Linux virtual machines in the cloud (AWS and GCP) to managing my Linux-based home server to using Ubuntu Linux as my daily driver OS. I've been using Linux for both work and personal use for more than 5 years.
Precalculus

Precalculus

I'm a 3rd year honors student pursing a B.S. in Computer Science with minors in Mathematics and Data Science. I have a 4.0 in my math classes, and I've been offering tutoring in various math subjects for over 3 years.
Python

Python

I taught myself how to program in Python over 7 years ago, when I was 13. Since then, I've used Python to build websites, APIs, do data analysis, build desktop applications, and more. Now, I intern as a software engineer at SAP, one of the world's top software companies.

Very knowledgeable and patient

He helped me to understand the coding for my computer science assignment. He was helpful and patient in his explanations. I will definitely come back for more help in the future!

Jeffrey, 14 lessons with Yaki

Patient and brilliant genius!

I recommend Yaki as a tutor to everyone! He is kind, patient, understanding, humble, and honest. Oh, and did I mention that he is a brilliant genius! Yaki helped me through one of the scariest moments of my career. I was tasked with writing an API script despite my complete lack of experience with APIs. Yaki provided the solution I needed while guiding me throughout the process. You'll be happy you picked Yaki!

very patient and explains everything

I have had about 7 or 8 lessons so far with Yaki. He’s extremely patient and easing going. Breaks things down for me to understand and answers every question. Sometimes things are hard for me to comprehend the first time around so he is taking the time to make sure i truly understand what he is teaching me. He has also recommended multiple resources for me to study from which has been beyond helpful. Hes made engaging which is a big help for me

Excellent tutor. Knowledgeable and patient

He is great working with young adults. He knows all the material that I’m working on Java and makes it easy to understand. He is dedicated and patient. I really recommend him to anyone studying Computer Science.

Maria, 2 lessons with Yaki

Excellent communicator

Taught me to problem solve which is an important part of python programming. He also help guide me to the answer instead of just doing the work for me. I will definitely recommend him to anyone that is struggling to understand certain concepts. Sometimes all it takes is for the information to be presented in a certain way for them to click. He is good at this.

Francisco, 3 lessons with Yaki

Expert in Pyhton

He is very knowledgeable and expert in python. I would love to have my all lesson with him. It was an amazing experience. I'm willing to do my all python problem with Yaki. I highly recommend everyone to have him for any python problem.
