Why Computer Science and Teaching?

My passion for computer science began with a fascination for problem-solving and the endless possibilities that technology offers to transform our world. The field of computer science is dynamic and ever-evolving, offering the opportunity to continuously learn and innovate. I chose this profession because it allows me to merge my interest in cutting-edge technologies with my desire to make a tangible impact, whether through improving video streaming systems, advancing healthcare diagnostics with machine learning, or educating the next generation of computer scientists. Teaching and research in this field enable me to contribute to the development of technologies that can enhance lives and to inspire students to pursue their own paths in this exciting and transformative discipline.

What is your favorite part of your job?

My favorite part of the job is the opportunity to engage with students and witness their growth as they develop into skilled and confident professionals. I find immense satisfaction in fostering an environment where students can explore complex concepts, ask questions, and apply their knowledge to solve real-world problems. Whether it’s guiding a student through a challenging programming assignment, seeing them grasp the intricacies of network protocols, or helping them make connections between theoretical research and practical application, these moments of discovery and achievement are incredibly rewarding. Additionally, I cherish the continuous learning aspect of my role, as my interactions with students and involvement in research keep me constantly engaged with new ideas and evolving technologies.
