Personal Statement

After completing my undergraduate degree at Rice, I spent two years working in government and the software industry, then returned to school to earn a PhD in Bioinformatics. Along the way, I tutored and taught both undergraduate and graduate students in subjects including compilers, operating systems, algorithms, and programming languages.

Since finishing my PhD, my main focus has been on mountaineering, climbing peaks in North and South America, and Europe. However, I have retained my i...

Reviews

The session I had with Sean regarding compiler theory and design was the best session I?ve had on this platform. He explained the reason and design of parser and scanner rules. Phenomenal tutor.
- Miah L. from Stone Mountain, GA
Sean was able to figure out issues in the compiler project and was able to teach student in a way that the student was able to understand the subject easily. He was a very patient tutor and used the time productively.
- Rahnee M. from Toms River, NJ
Excellent and thorough in explaining the concepts fully.Also reviewed the material before hand to ensure all aspects of the project were addressed. Highly recommended
- T K. from Dover, MA
Sean patiently walked me through what to me seemed like a daunting piece of code (written in Julia) and was extremely sharp in figuring out what each line does and in discussing a solution. Great communication skills as well.
- Ramin K. from New York, NY
Established structure of a concurrent C++ application using a Linux API. Explained some synchronization structures and how to use them in C++. Very helpful and knowledge, even though he had not used some of the specific parts of the app before he was quickly able to look at documentation and help out.
- Ariyana M. from Lakeland, FL
Sean is very knowledgable and very approachable. Highly recommend to anyone looking for some extra assistance with comp sci material. I hope to work with him again should I need more assistance in the future.
- Michael G. from Chicago, IL
Great lesson from Sean. He was able to identify the issue with my code quickly. It was a tough project and he made sense of it for me. Thank you!!!
- Kyle L. from Saratoga, CA
Great with instructions and does things in an efficient manner. Was working with c++ programming and he helped me tremendously.
- Jake R. from Valley Center, KS
Sean stuck with me and walked through my code. He was patient and knowledgeable. I will definitely work with him again.
- Kyle L. from Saratoga, CA
Sean is a really great tutor! He taught me how to fundamentally understand why each part of code is important, and different ways to approach the problem, while also informing me of subtle differences. We worked on how to get rid of duplicates using list comprehension, while removing 2 lines together simultaneously in each instance of duplication, while preserving the order of the original list (so in other words, a bit too complicated for the common pandas drop_duplicates). He was very patient with all of my questions, and very knowledgeable! Thank you Sean!
- Jasmine S. from Pacifica, CA
Sean O. is very knowledgeable and patient. He was able to help me with statistical approach to a problem in python. He walked me through the steps and explained clearly line by line. I highly recommend him.
