Prior to arriving at Carnegie Mellon, I was a Computer Science student at Purdue University where I focussed on Software Engineering and was an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant for a Computer Hardware class. Professionally, I'm an entrepreneur with 5 years' experience in the Software Engineering industry and work as an algorithms researcher for a startup. As a tutor, I like to make connections between the materials taught in class and the real world, which helps keep materials interesting and relevant to future career and professional prospects instead of just throwing seemingly arbitrary material at students.
