teaching

In Spring 2026, I taught CICS 160: Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming (UMass).

In Fall 2025, I taught COMSC 334: Artificial Intelligence (Mount Holyoke College).

Detailed teaching experience, including TAships and guest lectures, is listed in my CV.

Below, I’ve shared some artifacts I’m proud of from various teaching opportunities.
