About Ravi
Software development/programming/computer science is a vast field; you may be wondering how I can promise to teach you anything you want to know in it*. I don't know it all, but I have enough experience - I've been programming since I was in high school (over 20 years) - that I can pick up pretty much anything in the subject quickly and distill it into something understandable by the layperson.
I have experience teaching multiple areas of computer science for the University at Albany (SUNY) and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Qi Wang, the professor of the Introduction to Computer Science course at UAlbany (for which I was a teaching assistant), said the students loved me. I have a Master's degree in Computer Science from the University at Albany and a Bachelor's degree in Chemistry from the University of Virginia, as well as a Trade School Certificate in Electrical Work from The Blue Collar Virtual Trade School.
*Within reason. I don't have access to a mainframe, for instance, so there are limits to how much I can teach you about one.

To start, I help my students decide on a piece of software they want to develop - those who know, know that the best way to learn computer programming is by doing it, so the first thing you need is to know something you want to do. I will then guide you through the process of bringing that piece of software to life, helping you where you get stuck, and [if you are interested] supplementing the knowledge you gain during the development process with related details that might not be specifically relevant to your project (but which you will likely use in the future).
I can instruct in any publicly available language, including C, C++, Python, Java, C#, Swift, and Assembly language. If you need me to, I can teach you the basics (control flow and iterative statements, data types and what variables actually are, creating and using functions, etc.). I can give practical tips on code quality, debugging, and optimization. I can also teach the theoretical side, including:
- topics in Discrete Math (Boolean logic, proofs by induction, sets and [mathematical] functions, permutations and combinations, etc.)
- Big-Oh and related notations
- the P vs. NP problem and proving NP-completeness (i.e. proving that you can't solve a particular problem in a reasonable amount of time [for large input] unless a whole host of other problems with no known reasonable solution actually have one)
- any other topic people typically think of as belonging to Computer Science
I can teach students of any age, and am available in person in the Capital Region of New York or online.
