Data Science
Working with real datasets, finding patterns, and learning how statistical and computational tools turn data into insight.

IN THE CLASSROOM
Learning happens
when ideas come alive.
I enjoy teaching computer science because it gives me the opportunity to explore ideas alongside students. Beyond understanding the theory, I want students to see how concepts work, ask questions, experiment, and create things of their own.
SUBJECTS & EXPLORATION
Courses I teach
My teaching spans the foundations of computing, software development, and data-driven problem solving. These are some of the areas I regularly work with students on.
Operating Systems & Computer Architecture
Understanding what happens beneath the applications we use—from processors and memory to processes, scheduling, and system resources.
Systems · Processes · Architecture
Algorithms & Software Development
Exploring how to approach problems, reason about efficient solutions, and translate those ideas into readable, reliable programs.
Algorithms · Programming · Design
Databases & Distributed Systems
Looking at how information is organized and how software components coordinate, communicate, and work together.
Databases · Concurrency · Distributed computing
BEYOND THE LECTURE
Learning by building.
One of my favorite parts of teaching is working with students as their projects move from an initial idea toward something that actually works. In senior capstone and independent research, the learning often comes through exploration: trying an approach, discovering what doesn't work, and figuring out what to change.
Those projects have led us into virtual reality, artificial intelligence, robotics, computer vision, and many other areas.

OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM
Sharing what I learn.
I also enjoy making computing more approachable through hands-on data science and AI workshops, engineering summer camps, and outreach activities for students and educators in the Texas Panhandle. Teaching doesn't always happen in a traditional classroom.
