Teaching

• TA experience complemented my research by continuously exposing me to real-world systems (databases, secure computing, data structures) and reinforced my debugging, mentoring, and technical design review skills.
• Regularly mentored 100+ students per semester, reviewed project designs, and held office hours to break down complex technical concepts — enhancing my ability to communicate and lead within technical teams.
• Supported instruction for several undergrad and graduate-level CS courses at University of North Texas, including:
  • Software Engineering (CSCE 3444): Guided students in software design, version control (Git), Agile practices, and test-driven development for team-based projects — experience directly aligned with industry workflows.
  • Database Systems (CSCE 4350, 4355): Assisted with schema design, query optimization, and transaction management — reinforcing scalable backend system concepts.
  • Computing Foundations (CSCE 2110): Mentored students in core data structures and algorithms using C++, aligned with system-level thinking and coding interviews.
  • Cryptography (CSCE 5050): Supported assignments involving real-world encryption and secure protocols.
  • Multimedia Computing (CSCE 5390): Helped with multimedia data analysis projects, connecting closely to my research in computer vision and image processing.
