Computer Science Experience Labs
Since 2022, I've directed the CSXL, where students gain experience and build community. I was the principal investigator and lead designer for the $350,000 renovation of its coworking and learning labs.
Software Engineering and AI
My Foundations of Software Engineering course grew from a COMP590 pilot in Spring 2023 into COMP423. In Spring 2026, we incorporated AI-enabled development alongside design, testing, code review, and teamwork. Students are responsible for understanding and verifying the code they generate.
Teaching in Cape Town
In Fall 2025, I directed UNC's Cape Town Honors Study Abroad Program, teaching Technology, Ethics, & Culture and supervising student internships. More about my teaching.
UTA Teaching Team
My teaching is made possible thanks to a fabulous team of brilliant Undergraduate Teaching Assistants. Through Spring 2026, 269 undergraduates have served as colleagues in my courses, supporting students and helping improve how we teach computer science. Meet the Spring 2026 COMP423 team.
