"Hi! I'm Derek. I have a B.S. and P.E. in Electrical Engineering. I work as a senior engineering supervisor. I also tutor students in mathematics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning ("AI/ML"). In my 23 years as a tutor, I have taught students of all ages and skill levels.

I have been the research advisor on 30+ publications in AI/ML [where my name often appears in the Acknowledgements section]. This includes 2 papers in IEEE BigData, the Google Scholar No. 6 ranked publication in Data Mining & Analysis. I also placed 5th at the 2024 IEEE BigData Cup Challenge. I specialize in an area of AI/ML known as scientific machine learning. However, I can also do projects in computer vision, reinforcement learning, tabular data analysis, and more.

For those interested in higher level mathematics, I can work with you on interesting projects. For example, I worked with a high school student on a mathematics paper that was published in the Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics [where I am named as the Project Advisor].

For what it's worth, back in my high school days, I won a National AP Scholar Award [for taking 12 exams] and a National Merit Scholar Commendation. For the SAT, I scored 760/760 Math/Verbal. Copies of documentation are available upon request." less...
