Teaching Portfolio

Currently, I am primarily teaching the introductory class in information technology at the undergraduate level. This class has been an eye opener for many undergraduates who have since then declared IT as a major and have successfully embarked on a career in IT in places such as GE HealthCare, PWC, Accenture to name a few.

I also teach a course that focuses on designing and developing Web-based applications using a variety of programming languages and tools. Students will be exposed to Internet application development architecture. Class projects include developing business-to-consumer (B2C) and business-to-business (B2B) applications, among others. We will cover xHTML, cascading style sheets, javascripts, PHP and mySQL as the database backend.
