Coding for 10 years, with 5 years of functional programming focusing on full-stack web and testing. Prior to that Machine Translation focusing on Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English. Interested in gaining experience as a tutor.

I am new to the teaching world but excited about the experience. I offer the following kind of lesson: (1) guide the student through their problem and show them how to break it down into smaller pieces, (2) with enough background on the problem and a little bit of time before the lesson I prepare some notes that the student can keep, (3) I take notes after the lesson to highlight what we covered, review any areas of difficulty and provide supplementary questions if needed, (4) provide long term planning for a course or a project, and (5) consider the student's preferred learning style and alter my lessons as needed.

If I can't help you, I will give you a refund for the lesson.

I have an academic background in Linguistics (Bachlor's degree) and Computer Science (Mater's degree). My personal and professional interests include full stack website development, machine learning (particularly NLP), compilers, functional programming, databases, parallelization, code and project documentation (literate programming, Jupyter notebooks, API docs, etc.), and anything related to decentralization.

I have been using Haskell professionally for the last 5 years. My main focus has been on developing backend servers for SAAS products and microservices with Yesod and Servant. I have also done built some parsers and compilers in Haskell. Unit and property testing has been valuable for my work and I have maintained various related libraries. Have experience with GHCJS on the frontend but decided that ReasonML is a better solution.

I developed a web application to help users build computers that met specifications of games that they wanted to play. The building tool understood compatibility between computer parts. The tool combined website scraping, Newegg API, Steam API and handwritten rules to resolve compatibility.

A fun BuckleScript (OCaml syntax) implementation of the Game of Life for a web browser. It has minimal dependencies and interacts with the DOM by wrapping the native JavaScript functions. No framework is used. It features clickable cells, stepping, speed control and random reset. I recommend you fork it and try adding some more features.
