Undergraduate Teaching Assistant

Western Michigan University · 08/2023 – 12/2024

For three semesters between 2023 and 2024, I led instruction on ML model development, evaluation and optimization for hundreds of undergrads.

What I did

Taught students how to build and evaluate classification, time-series and deep-learning models in Python.

Tutored 200+ students in Python and SQL, with a heavy emphasis on writing analyses that an actual human (preferably a non-technical one) could read.

Coached teams through executive-style PowerPoint decks, the kind that turn a tangled notebook into a one-slide recommendation.

Teaching ML is the fastest way I know to find the holes in your own understanding. Couldn’t recommend it more.
