Profile

A highly dedicated, professional and accomplished Computer Science, Data science & Information Technology Lecturer, with extensive knowledge of teaching the core units. I Seek to contribute in research and offer lectures in the field of Computer Science / Data Science / Information Technology.
My philosophy is anchored on the belief that, while researchers discover solutions and propose techniques to address the challenges that face our field, It is only through effective teaching that a new generation of computer scientists, data scientists and or IT professionals will recognize the challenges that exist in the field, learn how to apply the knowledge acquired in their university courses to such problems, and discover new and innovative solutions of their own.

I hope to inspire new generations of engineers, scientists, and innovators and encourage them to go beyond their comfort zone. Achievable through nurturing open mindedness, positive attitude, and high expectations each day of the learning process.
I believe that: (1) learning should be interesting and that everyone must contribute to the learning process. (2) Students need not memorize a static set of slides but must be nurtured in a set-up that encourages them to face real-world problems and discover how to apply the knowledge learned to solve them. (3) Addressing the problems posed in the modern world requires more than just reading notes.
