Designed and taught a programming course for PhD students called Introduction to Julia. Studentswhere exposed to key concepts in technical programming languages, such as performance, readabilityand composability. The course received excellent feedback, with many students recommending thecourse to colleagues.

Graduate teaching assistant for courses such as Machine Learning, Introduction to C++, Interdisciplinary Research Computing, and Mathematics for Engineering

Work on MLJ, a proof-of-concept framework which aims to unify a largenumber of domain-specific libraries already written in Julia. My workhas specifically focused around designing the API to allow for integration and usability with otherpackages, and write interfaces to algorithms or packages, such as Boosting Algorithms, and parts ofScikit-Learn.
