What I do
In my role as an associate professor of the practice in software development and architecture I am continually looking for opportunities to engage with students, and apply my 13 years of industry experience towards mentoring and helping them find jobs. I have hosted students at Comcast, my former industry employer, and written recommendations for students to help them pursue jobs and internships. Also, I have overseen several Independent Study courses for students to allow them the flexibility to learn new material while accommodating their unique scheduling requirements. My research areas include cybersecurity and machine learning, and I am interested in applying machine learning to application security. I teach Web Development, Data Science, and Cybersecurity classes for the department.
