My tutoring strategy is goal-oriented and starts by meeting any student at their current level of understanding. Through discussion and exercises, I've led more than a thousand hours of successful lessons supporting students with: * getting started with programming through games at the middle-school level * introductory through advanced C, C++, and Java language topics * functional programming with Haskell and Scheme * masters-level functional programming languages and compilers

My team was responsible for implementing the Nintendo Switch operating system's BSD-compatible sockets API. Network software stability is critical to Nintendo's multi-player and digital goods ecosystems. * stress testing a highly concurrent operating system process to uncover timing bugs * network protocol parsing and system implementation * interface state management APIs and callback system implementation * automated test analysis and correction * implementation of a low-impact packet filter for development tooling * addressing protocol management during device low-power state * significant exposure to FreeBSD network code in analysis and augmentation

As an adjunct, I managed all aspects of several semesters of the core software development curriculum for freshmen and sophomores, and led summer elective courses in functional programming with curriculum of my own design. * CS 120: High-Level Programming 1 (C) * CS 170: High-Level Programming 2 (Introduction to C++) * CS 185: Introduction to C++ for Game Designers * CS 225: Advanced C/C++ * CS 399: Introduction to Functional Programming (Idris/Haskell)
