Experience
I was the Lead Teaching Assistant at Georgia Tech where the technical coursework was digital hardware design and programming, with a large focus in developing students' written and verbal skills through technology I have tutored through peer programs in high school and in college and have continued to do both formal and informal teaching sessions inside and outside of my job in the commercialized artificial intelligence software world In computer science, I have: * A formal background with Lisp/Scheme, Java, VHDL, Verilog, C/C++, and assembly language programming, MatLab * An informal background with lots of experience in PHP, Perl, Lua, JavaScript, HTML5, .NET (C#), and PARI/GP * Professional experience in both development and product design/management at a software company that focused on commercializing artificial intelligence algorithms (image recognition, search software, speech recognition, and the like) In math, I have extensive background in: * Algebra, trigonometry, geometry, and pre-calculus * Calculus, linear algebra, multivariate calculus, differential equations, series and sums * Probability and statistics (especially applied/computational probability and statistics, which is all most AI is!) In physics, I have a background in * Newtonian, calculus-based physics, thermodynamics * Electromagnetics/electromagnetic applications (I specialized in antenna theory and design) * Acoustic physics (speaker/amplifier design and the like) and analog electronics Math SAT score: 780 AP Calculus BC score: 5 AP Computer Science score: 5 Happy to do screensharing/video for those that want to do remote tutoring or in-person tutoring anywhere else (in San Francisco or close to BART/CalTrain).

Hobbies
I have a passion for teaching people what I know and an even greater passion for learning. I love the intersection of multiple subjects (especially exciting ones!), as there has been a lot of research that shows -- and I personally believe -- that this is the best way to learn. In particular, I'm excited by where robots, books, economics/investing, socialization, and artificial intelligence collide and have used these to create my own interesting projects. A couple examples: * I've built a foosball table that plays against people * I've given speeches to audiences of hundreds on where AI and search software stands and where it's going * I've written my own software platform for teaching the basics of programming while using a robot for exciting student feed-back This passion has led me to quit my job and pursue a more personal passion in making education better. As a major upside: I'm generally available for tutoring sessions most any day at most any time :)
