Personal
I am a recent graduate from UC Santa Barbara with a Bachelor’s Degree in mathematics. I currently live in Santa Barbara. I am a manager at Silvergreens Restaurant, and I also do tutoring work on the side (see below).
Programming
Growing up, I spent a lot of time learning how to write computer programs, and it became a hobby of mine. I primarily wrote text-adventure games for the Mac. Part of this programming work included porting over my mom’s old games to Mac OS X using Cocoa with Objective C, the same API and language I used to write my own games. My old games page has more info about my games.
I haven’t had as much time or drive lately to continue programming, though I have dabbled a bit in making iOS apps.
Tutoring
I did small amounts of private tutoring here and there in high school, but I got more involved in tutoring in 2010. I have done a lot of work for Grade Potential, a SoCal-based tutoring company, and in 2012 I started doing some freelance tutoring on my own. I have partnered with Bob Thomas, another tutor in the Santa Barbara area. Together we are the SB Math Tutors.
