Teaching experience
While I have not held a formal lecturer position, I have strong practical experience explaining technical concepts through my work and projects. As an AI Developer, I regularly design and build applications, which requires breaking down complex ideas into clear, understandable steps. I have also guided others informally by helping peers understand programming and mathematics concepts and supporting them in building projects. My experience developing full-stack and AI-based applications has strengthened my ability to communicate technical knowledge in a structured and practical way. Additionally, my Master’s degree in Computer Science and strong foundation in mathematics provide me with the academic background required to teach university-level topics effectively.
