Teaching
I teach computing as a subject that students learn by doing. My goal is to make difficult ideas understandable without removing their technical depth. I use clear explanations, focused examples, regular practice, and feedback that helps students improve their reasoning as well as their code.

How I approach teaching
Explain the reason
Students learn technical details more effectively when they understand the problem those details solve.
Build from small examples
Focused examples make a new idea visible; complete programs show how the pieces work together.
Teach debugging
I ask students to inspect program state, test assumptions, and explain why a correction works.
Make questions welcome
A respectful classroom helps students ask for help before confusion becomes discouragement.
Connect theory and practice
My research and software-engineering experience help me show how course concepts appear in real systems.
