Mike

Certified Tutor

I graduated from the University of Texas at San Antonio in 2008 with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. Since then, I have worked as an iPhone App Developer independently as a contractor hired to lead application development as well as a team member on corporate mobile software projects. I have also worked as a Security Consultant with an emphasis on mobile and web application penetration testing. My passion is software, which has led me to becoming skilled at platform-independent programming. During college, I worked as both a Research Assistant as well as a lab instructor and tutor of freshman-level Java programming but I frequently helped students of other programming languages such as C/C++. I greatly enjoyed helping others during that time, and am excited that the opportunity to tutor has arrived once more. In addition to Computer Science and general computer topics, I am able to help students with English, in particular writing. Outside of programming and writing, I enjoy riding bikes, martial arts, Japanese, and cooking. I think a lot of things are easier than we make them out to be, and I hope to impart ways to encourage and improve students' mastery of their chosen topics. Education is very important to me, as when it is done well it is a lifelong journey.
