About Alva


Bio

Beginning in 2003, I began programming in BASIC and learned a great deal about software. Over my academic career, I have tutored college students and helped them grasp the concepts necessary to succeed. When I started college part time in 2006, I made it a point to help anyone who asked with any class I was taking. Now that I have completed my bachelors in Comp. Sci. in 2016, I want to continue helping those who just need an extra little push to succeed.

Beginning in 2003, I began programming in BASIC and learned a great deal about software. Over my academic career, I have tutored college students and helped them grasp the concepts necessary to succeed. When I started college part time in 2006, I made it a point to help anyone who asked with any class I was taking. Now that I have completed my bachelors in Comp. Sci. in 2016, I want to continue helping those who just need an extra little push to succeed.

As a trusted teaching assistant at Cutting Edge Karate, since 2009, I’ve learned to give helpful criticism that increases learning. I have developed and maintained websites for a few businesses and ministries using both HTML and Javascript. Working at Center for Autism and Related Disorders, I have gained even more experience in C# and Javascript. Working there since 2011, I have built many projects and gained extensive experience in C# and Javascript. I am eager to pass this experience onto others.

I have over twelve years of experience in programming. I have worked in the industry using both Javascript and C#, since 2011. My academic career included teaching and projects in C, C++, and Java. Other programming experience includes Game Maker and Construct 2 (drag and drop programming).

Knowledgeable and patient

Alva helped me with some concepts in C I was struggling with. He was patient and took the time to understand what I didnt know, and clarify. He also offered some structured best practices for solving additional problems. Very pleased.
