  • When and why did you develop an interest in your chosen field?

    I wrote my first program at age 12. It was an html page to pay tribute to the video game that had captured my heart and my imagination (The Neverhood). My only guide having been a short introductory book to HTML, I had to work through a great deal of confusion and frustration to finally achieve my intended outcome. However, when I got a first taste of what it feels like to create original content with code, my fascination with computers grew irreversibly.

    Although I don't play a ton of video games these days, I must say they were key to my growing interest in programming. By the time I was in high school, I dreamed of becoming a video game programmer. "C++: how to program" by Deitel became the first formal textbook on the topic I began studying on my own after finding out the "Turing" programming language that was taught in my highschool coding class was not exactly appropriate for developing games 🤣

    These experiences lead me to pursue a bachelor of computer science from the University of Waterloo...
  • What makes you passionate about your subject?

    Computer science introduces so many fascinating concepts (various algorithms, data structures, etc) that I often find clever, elegant, ingenious, even beautiful. There is something to be said about a discipline where theorems can be formally proven in a mathematically rigorous fashion; a discipline where we (as humankind) have created everything there is to a digital computer and thus can justifiably consider our knowledge as being absolute.
    Beyond these considerations, programming combines rigorous logic with a refreshing element of human creativity. The sense of satisfaction from building a functioning system entirely out of code is what drives the passion for so many programmers.
  • What do you like about tutoring? What makes you a "Superprof"?

    I find enjoyment and satisfaction in using my skills and experience to empower other people and making a positive difference in their lives.

    I've been teaching and mentoring for quite some time. In highschool I regularly helped other students with mathematics (I did 40+ hours of volunteer tutoring as well as tutoring professionally). Throughout university and my professional career as a full stack web developer I have never shied away from mentorship opportunities that were presented to me.

    I believe my attitude and enthusiasm, as well as my knowledge and experience have been instrumental in attaining the "Superprof" designation.
  • Do you have any role models; a teacher that inspired you? Please explain

    I've been blessed with the opportunity to learn from many inspirational teachers/professors/mentors in my life.

    A few examples:

    Mr. Jason Beggs: My English teacher in high school who was so passionate about the literature he taught in class he read it regularly in his own leisure time. He was also a Rugby coach. He was an eloquent academic and caring teacher in class, a force of nature on the Rugby field and a consummate gentleman at all times.

    Dr. David Porreca:
    Professor of classical and medieval studies at university of Waterloo whose lectures were so fascinating that one could barely notice passage of time as he revealed a glimpse of his vast treasure of knowledge and wisdom each class. His lecture slides were deliberately high-level and minimal. The lecture content was largely decided by what questions the students asked and which direction the discussions took, as he drew fascinating insights by comparing and contrasting seemingly unrelated historical events.

    Dr. Gordon Cormack:
    Computer Science professor at university of Waterloo who was a master of taking an extremely complex and challenging topic and breaking it down to small, concisely elaborated segments. Teaching a class how to write a C compiler in MIPS assembly code is no easy task, but every slide of every lecture, every word that came out of his mouth was carefully chosen to convey important ideas and eradicate misunderstandings and ambiguities. One had to pay full attention and take care not to fall behind, but doing so, they would be rewarded with in depth, sound understanding of what it means when they say "everything in a computer is made of 0s and 1s"

    ... and many other instructors/mentors I've had the pleasure of learning from...

    Each exceptional educator had their own unique approach and philosophy, but what they all had in common was unmistakable passion for their field of study and uncompromising dedication to sharing their knowledge to the best of their ability.
  • What are your keys to success?

    My success as an instructor is defined by the progress made by my students and their satisfaction with the learning experience.

    In order to maximize learning efficiency, each lesson is tailored to the student's proficiency level and learning style.

    I often use accurate analogies that capture the "key idea" in every topic I'm discussing in a bid to simplify complex topics as much as possible before proceeding to explain it in a more detailed and analytical fashion.

    Patience also plays a major role in an educator's success. I'm always happy to go over a topic again, explaining it differently if I need to. I encourage my students to interrupt me mid-explanation if they need further clarification on anything and I remind them there is no such thing as a stupid question in my class.

    Lastly, I think my academic and professional experience help me offer practical career advice as well as guidance about coding best practices. It is always easier to learn how to write professional grade code from the start than to have to unlearn bad habits.
