hi! i'm omar ("OH-mar", or əʊmɑr in IPA), and i am currently a lecturer for the department of computer science at the university of illinois chicago.

previously, i earned my B.S. and M.S. degrees in Computer Science from the paul g. allen school of computer science at the university of washington in 2021 and 2023 respectively. while I was there, I helped teach computer science courses, taught my own courses, and completed my master's thesis on methods for teaching proof-writing advised by Robbie Weber and Lauren Bricker. I also am very anti capital letters, as you might be able to glean from this site.
