  1. Graduate Privacy TA

    Cornell Tech | Profs. Vitaly Shmatikov and Helen Nissenbaum | 2024

    Currently TAing the graduate-level Privacy in the Digital Age course at Cornell Tech.

  2. Undergraduate / Graduate Machine Learning Course Designer

    UW | Prof. Sewoong Oh | 2021

    In the summer after my junior year, I was sponsored Prof. Sewoong Oh to redesign the course's problem sets and homework infrastructure with a focus on modernization and equitability. We worked to add necessary data context, remove technical jargon, and construct homework problems that required students to challenge algorithmic and implicit biases in machine learning. In addition, we created a new central grading system and TA codebase for future quarters and course staffs to use.

  3. 4x Undergraduate / Graduate Machine Learning TA

    UW | Profs. Kevin Jamieson, Jamie Morgenstern, Sewoong Oh, Simon Du, Byron Boots | 2020-2021

    From sophomore to senior year of my undergraduate, I TA'd CSE446/546 (combined undergraduate/graduate machine learning) three times and CSE446 (undergraduate ML) once. Each quarter, I either hosted a 25-person section or held office hours twice a week while designing section materials for the entire teaching staff, monitoring discussion boards, and grading assignments.
