What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining teaching and technical work—curriculum design, mentoring, research, or applied software/QA projects in an academic or innovation-focused environment.

I am an experienced Computer Science educator and practitioner with over a decade supporting teaching, curriculum design, and academic mentoring across universities and schools.

I have developed undergraduate courses (Parallel and Distributed Computing), served on admission and supervisory committees, and led labs and examinations while providing student counseling and career guidance.

As a software developer and QA engineer, I implemented user-facing features, contributed to reusable libraries, created test plans, and performed manual and automated testing with tools like Selenium, Postman, and Jira.

I combine strong analytical skills with hands-on experience in Python, Java, C++, SQL, MATLAB, machine learning libraries, web development (HTML/CSS, PHP), Git, and instructional design to drive learning outcomes and deliver reliable software solutions.
