Java is my go to language. I have used Java for various classroom projects and personal projects. I created a REST Api in Java using the Jersey framework and using the MVC architecture model, created Swing gui, applications for multiple projects, and was a teacher-assistant for object-oriented undergraduate class at my university. I also have experience with using junit with Java.

Anthony was very helpful with my SML assignments. He is great with Haskell and was easily able to translate that over to SML so that I could understand what was happening. I recommend him if you need help understanding functional programming languages.

Anthony was very patient and used several different methods to explain my problem in a way I could understand - drawings, color coding, extra examples and he is knowledgeable about Python.
