Overview
About Me
I currently live in Charleston, SC, and work as an Assistant Professor at a University there. Before moving to Charleston, I lived in Charlotte, NC for a good number of years, during which I obtained my PhD in Computer Science. I also lived in DeKalb (a city near Chicago) for few year prior to that.
I've hosted few times when I was in Charlotte; hoping to be able to do the same here in Charleston.

Teach, Learn, Share
Although I am a teacher by profession, I may not be able to teach much. I can certainly teach you a thing or two about computer science (programming, data science, web development, ...) if you're interested, and I can probably also teach you how to do cool figures from paper (unit origami).
