Learning that lasts beyond the semester
Rigorous foundations, generous feedback, and room to build real things—so students leave confident to reason about systems, communicate clearly, and keep learning on their own.
Consistency models, fault tolerance, and operational patterns for services at scale—with labs on observability and safe deploys.
Outcomes: students design for failure, reason about latency budgets, and document trade-offs clearly.
From requirements to interfaces: modularity, boundaries, and maintainability—with emphasis on reviewable design docs.
Outcomes: students produce ADRs, sketch sequence diagrams, and defend coupling choices.
Ingestion, transformation, and quality checks—connecting batch and streaming patterns to measurable SLAs.
Outcomes: students build reproducible pipelines and explain idempotency and backfill.
Framing questions, designing studies, and communicating evidence—without losing engineering pragmatism.
Outcomes: students write a short, reviewable research memo with clear threats to validity.
“Clarity is kindness. I teach so students can explain ideas to a teammate at a whiteboard—and know what to measure when things break.” — Mehedi Hasan
Courses blend conceptual maps with hands-on work: short lectures, guided labs, and frequent feedback loops. I emphasize intellectual honesty—naming assumptions, comparing alternatives, and writing so the next reader can continue the work.
Mentorship extends beyond grades: I help students build portfolios they are proud of, practice technical communication, and connect classroom themes to internships and research opportunities.
Led seminars and capstone-style projects in distributed systems and reliability engineering.
Industry-aligned modules on cloud-native architecture, observability, and incident response drills.
Office hours, grading with rubrics, and guiding first research experiences for junior students.
