Since 2023, I have taught graduate and undergraduate analytics, big data, and healthcare AI at UNLV’s Lee Business School, with documented section sizes from 23 to 62 students. Course ratings have consistently exceeded benchmarks: 13–19% above the MIS department and 8–12% above UNLV overall.

Students respond to the practical structure of the courses: real datasets, Python, SQL, Tableau, Jupyter/Colab, Hugging Face labs, structured online modules, and individualized video feedback.

Beyond lectures, I mentor applied AI work — healthcare analytics, independent-study projects, and a five-student LLM/employment project team.

Nothing here for that filter yet.

Hands-on

Demos & labs.

Live Hugging Face Spaces, model benchmarks, and the CardioEmbed interactive that pair with the coursework. Useful for students, curious onlookers, and anyone evaluating the work.
