Thank you for visiting!

My name is Nick, and I'm a Ph.D. student that is passionate about making beginner, intermediate, and advanced computer science and engineering topics more approachable! I use GitHub to host all the code I present in my teaching videos on my YouTube channel.

My teaching areas include:

and much more!

What your contribution supports:

Your contribution helps to support the continued creation of always open, and always free teaching content. I am a strong believer that teaching content should not be hidden behind paywalls. Contributions will help fund the following things:

  • Continued improvement to videos
    • Microphone, camera, and general hardware for making videos and running benchmarks
  • More advanced teaching topics
    • Hardware for SoC design, working with microarchitecture simulators (GEM5 & GPGPU-Sim)
  • Video hosting outside of YouTube
    • YouTube is not available in all countries, and I'd like to provide an alternate way to access my teaching content
  • A free CSE textbook
    • A Tour of Programming is an open source textbook I work on in my spare time
  • Coffee and Food
    • The drivers of code development

I enjoy interacting with those passionate about teaching and learning. If you ever have a question, I am available on the following platforms:
