About Palak

I am currently working as a Software Engineer II for a telecommunications company. Prior to my current role, I held a Full Stack developer role in a financial institution in downtown Chicago. I have also spend some time working for an insurance company and gained experience as a software developer. Throughout these roles, I have made significant technical contributions in delivering high quality internal and client facing applications. I also bring strong leadership and management skills to my teams, juggling multiple activities to produce innovative solutions. My biggest strength is to learn from my past experiences – both technical and non-technical – to continuously grow myself and my teams. I hold a BS in Computer Science from the highly ranked University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Tutoring is something that I really enjoy to do because I love sharing knowledge with passionate individuals who share similar interests in the field of Computer Science. I have helped students learn web development from scratch as a complete beginner in the past. Besides teaching web development and other specific frameworks, I have also helped my students debug complicated issues/bugs in their assignment. Whatever your background and skillsets are, I am open to discuss about your specific goals to make the tutoring sessions more interactive so you can get the most out of it. Please see my detailed work experience and skillsets below.
