Assistant Professor, School of Computing, Facutly of Business and Computing

Representative from the Faculty of Business and Computing to the College of Arts 2022--2023 academic year.

I have also taught mathematics and computer science courses at UVic, KPU, and VIU.

PhD, Computer Science, Univesrity of Victoria, 2017. My area of focus is within computational theory, with specialty in topological graph algorithms. Dissertation available in UVicSpace [https://dspace.library.uvic.ca/handle/1828/8212] Finding obstructions within irreducible triangulations.

MSc, Mathematics, University of Victoria, 2010. My area of focus is within discrete mathematics, with specialty in graph colouring. Thesis available in UVicSpace [https://dspace.library.uvic.ca/handle/1828/2013] Reflexive injective oriented colourings.

BSc, UFV, 2007. Mathematics major, Computer Science Minor.

Professional Membership of the Association for Computing Machinery

Ethics ties together much of my teaching philosophy that focuses exploration into forward-facing and fast-paced technologies such as the artificial intelligence and the policies involved in their regulations. Planning ahead with value, utilitarian, and deontological ethical frameworks supports students' ability to navigate a complex, ever-changing job market where the advantages of management information systems can be leveraged by individuals, not just large organizations. Bringing students together to work in teams balances powerful technologies with essential soft-skills. I have experienced critical thinking in the logic of mathematics and computer-science research as a powerful foundation of my teaching efforts.  DevOps' lifelong-learning philosophy combines software development and business concepts. I apply all of these philosophies directly in my own life by studying topics such as media arts, creative writing, and graphic design as inspired by some of the first programmers such as Grace Hopper to continually consider students' perspectives.

Graphics is a complex topic that involves cutting-edge technologies to hold together my interests in many other areas of computer science, such as AI ethics, user-interface design, and many kinds of programming: object-oriented, functional, logic, game engine, and shader. Operating systems underlies most everything in computing that then leads toward fostering students' curiosity into an introduction of security and supporting the management of larger development projects. I bring uses of version control systems to support the software engineering practice of our students.
