With a Master's degree in Data Science and a diverse background spanning product engineering, machine learning, and data analysis, I am uniquely qualified to be an excellent Computer Science tutor. My academic and professional experiences have equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of both theoretical concepts and practical applications in the field.

As a Product Engineer, I developed interactive web applications using React, giving me insight into frontend development and user experience design. This experience allows me to teach students not just the fundamentals of programming, but also how to create user-centric applications.
My proficiency in Python, R, and SQL, along with expertise in libraries such as Pandas, NumPy, and Matplotlib, enables me to guide students through various aspects of data manipulation, analysis, and visualization. I can help learners understand how to extract meaningful insights from complex datasets and communicate them effectively.

My work as an Intern Machine Learning Engineer at a YC startup has given me practical experience in setting up ML pipelines and working with MLOps, knowledge that is invaluable for students interested in cutting-edge AI applications. Furthermore, my Masters thesis on abstractive summarization using LSTM and Transformer models positions me to teach advanced topics in natural language processing and deep learning.

Certifications as an AWS Solutions Architect and Azure Data Scientist Associate demonstrate my expertise in cloud computing and data science platforms, allowing me to introduce students to industry-standard tools and practices.

My passion for AI, combined with strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset, makes me adept at explaining complex concepts in an accessible manner. I can tailor my teaching approach to suit individual learning styles and paces, ensuring that each student grasps both the theoretical foundations and practical applications of Computer Science.

As a tutor, I am committed to fostering a supportive learning environment, encouraging curiosity, and empowering students to tackle real-world problems using their Computer Science skills.
