Graduate and Undergraduate courses
I teach courses at both the undergraduate and graduate level. I have created 3 new computer science courses (CS 455, CS 555, and CS 655) in the area of distributed systems at Colorado State University. CS455 is designated as a capstone course and is targeted at senior undergraduate students. First year graduate students take CS555, while CS655 is an advanced research seminar course typically taken by PhD students. The primary objective of these courses is for students to gain a deeper understanding of the algorithms, frameworks, and strategies that underpin complex, large-scale distributed systems. The x55 series of courses entail extensive programming and substantive systems building assignments in addition to a writing component that is generally split into 3 deliverables to facilitate critical feedback on the content and organization of ideas.

List of Courses Taught So Far

	CS 455	Introduction to Distributed Systems [Spring 2013/12]
	CS 555	Distributed Systems [Fall 2012/10]
	CS 370	System Architecture and Software [Fall 2012 & Spring 2012/11]
	CS 655	Advanced Topics in Distributed Systems [Fall 2011]
	CS 451	Operating Systems [Spring 2010]
	CS 670	Special topics in Architecture/Systems: {Distributed Systems} [Fall 2009]

Summer Camp for Middle School Students
I organize an annual STEM camp for middle school students. The camp, Math in Action in Computer Science (MACS), focuses on reinforcing fundamental mathematical concepts that students learn in middle school alongside their applications in Computer Science. The camp also includes programming sessions (in Python) where students code some of these concepts.
