In my current (remote) role as a Lecturer (Education Specialist - Level B, equivalent to Assistant Professor in the North American System) at the School of Computer and Mathematical Sciences at the University of Adelaide, I am engaged in reviewing and enhancing course materials in the Data Science discipline. Previously, as a Lecturer (Teaching Specialist) at the School of Computing and Information Systems at the University of Melbourne, I contributed to curriculum development, subject coordination, lecturing, tutoring, exam preparation, marking, and research within Software Engineering and Programming courses. I hold a Professional Scrum Master I (PSM-I) certification, reflecting my dedication to continuous professional development and adherence to industry best practices. I also bring extensive teaching experience from over six years as a sessional lecturer at Monash University and as a TAFE instructor at Victoria University Australia.
