I enjoy being active! My current favorite activity is boxing. Just hitting a bag though, no people!

Teaching

I started teaching computer science as an undergrad student in 2015 and have loved it ever since!

I've taught in C++, C, python, and Java covering many topics including introductory computer science (loops, if-statements, functions, ect.), data structures, systems, and artificial intelligence. 

Fall 2025 I am teaching CS 340

Curious about how I teach? Check out my CS 128 Live course materials!

Research

My PhD research was about how to program computers to think like people.
