Teaching

TA - CS40 - Machine Structure and Assembly Language Programming

Undergraduate course, Tufts University, Department of Computer Science, Jan 2025 - Present

I am currently a Teaching Assistant for CS-40, which is focused on machine architecture and data representations at a low level. This is often considered the most challenging course in the department, and it has been a privilege to work with such a committed and collaborate course staff to support the hundreds of students that take CS-40 each year.

TA - CS11 - Introduction to Computer Science

Undergraduate course, Tufts University, Department of Computer Science, Jan 2024 - Dec 2024

I spent a year as a Teaching Assistant for CS-11, which gave me the opportunity to reinforce foundational CS concepts by teaching them to other students. Working with hundreds of first-time coders really improved my ability to explain complicated ideas in a digestible and memorable way.
