About Me

Experience Summary

I taught Computer Science at the University of Oklahoma for 10 years while completing my doctorate. I have received a B.S. and M.S. in Computer Science from the University of Nice-Sophia Antipolis in France. I also studied towards a M.S. and Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of Oklahoma. I taught many subject ranging from programming to advanced databases to algorithm analysis. During my years at the University of Oklahoma I taught many programming, databases, and algorithm analysis classes. I taught many Java, C, C++, and Fortran classes (CS 1323, CS 1313, CS 2413, CS 4513, ...) I also have worked in industry for 5 years as a software engineer for companies such as American Airlines and PentaSafe Security Systems.

Teaching Style

I like interacting with students and help them overcome their difficulties. I first need to find out where the student stands. It is important to have a solid foundation to build upon. I like to review the basic material with students to make sure they stand on such a foundation I like to teach a concept and follow immediately with exercises with the student. I believe programming is best assimilated through hands on practice. I also believe that many students need to see the same material multiple times before they have a complete understanding. For this reason I like to review past material periodically. I also believe that the pace needs to be set by the student and not by me. My students at OU loved me and I stayed in touch with many of them. I hope you will be the next one.

My Hobbies

Stock trading, FOREX, poker, reading, swimming,
