Experience
Software Development Intern
I have done a number of internships, each lasting max 2 months at a time, for various tech companies. Generally, there is a large project that I would work on for the duration of the internship while reporting to a member of the team who acts in a mentor type role.
UCT Tutor
Tutors teach students in allotted tutorial slots where students are free to ask general questions or receive help for their assignments. Tutors also mark test scripts and invigilate tests.

I completed my honour's degree in computer science in 2017, taking modules in artificial intelligence, internet security, databases, and distributed computing. My project was software development oriented, attempting to extend a data visualization tool for radio astronomy.
Subjects taught
-
Python
I have used Python in a number of software development internships, as well as taught it, both as a tutor and lecturer, at first year university level. I have experience with what is confusing about it, and how to use it as a paradigm to teach programming more generally.

Computer Programming
I have experience with a variety of programming languages from my academic background as well as from my internships in the tech industry. Specifically, I have knowledge of Python, Java, C++, and C#, as well as some functional programming languages like Scheme, and web development languages such as Javascript and HTML. I have lectured and tutored Python programming courses at UCT, and I believe I can impart my understanding of the subject to anyone willing to listen.
