About Alden D.

Subjects

Computer Science C++

Education

Bachelors in Physics, General from University of California-Santa Cruz

Career Experience

I've worked as a software engineer on computational biology projects, helping to scale up genomics algorithms to run on networks of machines using cloud computing platforms like AWS and Azure. I'm now pursuing a PhD part-time, and am developing techniques for finding and annotating self-replicating DNA sequences (called retrotransposons) in the human genome.

I Love Tutoring Because

like many people, I once struggled with math in high school before I learned to love the challenge of solving new problems. It's an honor to help students unleash their own logic and creativity to approach a problem, rather than depending on memorization or arbitrary rules.

Other Interests

Baseball, Chess, Hiking

I had questions about the program I'm coding for a school assignment. While I did get disconnected from one tutor, both tutors were very helpful in providing advice on how to continue writing the code for my program.

Alden helped me figure out why a block of code wasnt triggering, but he also helped me know how to test that in the future!
