Since high school, I have had a passion for teaching others. I am always filled with a great sense of fulfillment when I help my peers experience an aha moment. My love for sharing knowledge led me to pursue a teaching role as a workshops officer for Aggie Coding Club during my senior year of college. My role in the club was to develop and present beginner friendly workshops that teach valuable computer science skills to the students of Texas A&M. I developed or co-developed the following workshops:
Git Workshop
This workshop taught the basics of git. Students could choose to either play the git learning game Oh My Git or follow along with a git learning YouTube playlist I made (shown below). The playlist made use of the Git Visualizer, a vscode extension that I developed. You can read more about the extension on the projects page.
React Workshop
This workshop explained how to create a simple react website. The workshop was delivered at Howdy Hack 2022.
Discord Bot Workshop
This workshop explained how to create a discord bot. The particular discord bot created in the workshop could speak like a character or person using UberDuck. Students followed along with a discord bot YouTube playlist I made (shown below).
Discord Bot Competition
The Workshop Team held a month long competition where teams were tasked with building a discord bot to represent a character (from a movie, game, cartoon, etc.) or a person. For this competition, I developed the rules and winner presentation. The prizes of the competition were Amazon gift cards ranging from $25 to $100.
Web Scraper Workshop
This workshop explained how to create a web scraper. The workshop was inspired the Wired Autcomplete interviews. The particular web scraper developed in the workshop could automatically collect Google searches about a specified famous person. Students followed along with these slides during a live code along.
Google Extension Workshop
This workshop explained how to create a google extension. This project was inspired by the 20-20-20 rule, a technique to prevent digital eye strain by looking away from your computer at an object 20 feet away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes. The particular google extension developed in the workshop would remind you to look away from your screen according to the 20-20-20 rule. Students followed along with these slides during a live code along.
Debugging Workshop
This workshop focused on the topic of debugging. The workshop taught the types of programming errors, different debugging techniques, and how to use a debugger. Students followed along with these slides. Near the end of the workshop, students participated in a pair debugging activity where one partner introduced a bug and the other partner would try to find it.

While working on the TAMU ASLA Wesbite, I served as the scrum master in a team of 6. Some of my duties included leading the daily stand-ups and the sprint retrospectives. You can read more about the TAMU ASLA Website on the projects page.
