As a graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Information Science from The Ohio State University, where I focused on Artificial Intelligence and maintained a 3.5 GPA, I am well-prepared to teach computer science topics to students.
School provided me with an understanding of key computer science concepts and technologies. Artificial intelligence, computer architecture design, operating system design, database systems, neural networking, and computer vision to name a few. I gained hands-on experience implementing algorithms for AI, designing computer architectures, handling operating system tasks, working with relational databases, and developing solutions for computer vision applications.
In addition to my academic background, I have honed my skills in programming languages such as C#, C, Python, Java, and C++, building large-scale projects and maintaining codebases over extended periods. My experience includes developing custom database systems, recreating video games in C# with agile methodologies, designing and implementing a custom programming language, and creating software solutions using Python UI packages.
Furthermore, my work experience as a Business Analyst at Parexel has equipped me with valuable skills in software testing, quality control, content creation, and project management. I have a strong analytical mindset, attention to detail, and proficiency in utilizing project management tools like Kanban, which would enable me to effectively plan and deliver instructional materials to students.
As a Head Manager at Padrones Pizza, I developed leadership and interpersonal skills, overseeing a team, managing customer interactions, and optimizing operational efficiency. These experiences have enhanced my ability to communicate effectively, manage time efficiently, and adapt teaching strategies to meet the diverse needs of students.
