Teaching Philosophy
I believe effective computing education should bridge theoretical foundations with practical applications. My teaching approach emphasizes critical thinking, problem-solving, collaborative learning, and hands-on experience with modern technologies. I strive to create an inclusive learning environment where students are encouraged to explore, innovate, and develop confidence in their technical abilities.
