Senior🎓
Top SchoolJacob Gillenwater is a program coordinator and educator with 10 years of hands-on experience across software development, networking, and IT support, currently overseeing ETSU's bachelor of computer science and undergraduate research honors programs. He teaches core CS courses from introductory programming to data structures, algorithms, and secure coding, and brings practical industry experience from roles in enterprise applications, IT internships, and desktop support. Comfortable across languages and environments—from C#, Java, Python, and C++ to assembly, Bash, and PowerShell—he pairs tool-agnostic technical judgment with classroom-tested communication and presentation skills. Jacob has a track record of adapting to varied technical and educational contexts, whether refactoring production C# systems, building simulated large-scale networks, or tutoring underprivileged middle-school students. He holds both a BS and an MS in Computer Science from ETSU with strong academic performance and a penchant for selecting pragmatic, security-minded solutions. An under-the-radar strength is his blend of low-level systems experience (ARM/x86 assembly and efficient algorithms) with pedagogy, making him effective at translating complex topics into teachable, production-ready practices.
