I like to learn new things, and am constantly driven to make sense of
why things are the way they are. I strongly believe in the often
quoted words of Frank Oppenheimer, “The best way to learn is to
teach”, and have taken every opportunity to teach and help fellow
classmates when they’ve needed help. My style of
learning—understanding and breaking down the problem rather than
the solution—allows me to teach and explain concepts in the way
a student approaches unfamiliar topic—through discovery and
I believe cultivating a love for the subject is as important as
imparting knowledge, as we are automatically receptive to what
interests us. I have been involved in the field of computers since
high school, with contributions to open source projects and going on
to consulting with companies later through my time at University. I
have a strong grasp of current trends and technologies, with an
understanding of real-world and modern contexts in which they are
applied. This allows me to explain topics from both an academic and
industrial perspective to help students see the possibilities of the
technologies they are learning.
Other than computers, my interests lie mainly in the applied and
performing arts. I have performed as a singer, guitarist and a
keyboardist with several amateur to semi-professional music bands over
the last decade. I’m also a hobbyist pencil artist and a
graphics designer in my spare time.
I am regularly involved with many open-source
projects which are listed on my
