Bio: Hi. I am Malithi Mithsara. I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. at Southern Illinois University, where I also serve as a Graduate Teaching Assistant within the School of Computing. I am dedicated to imparting knowledge in operating systems and web application development to our students. My academic journey began with a Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Science from the University of Sri Jayewardenepura in Sri Lanka, followed by a Master of Computer Science from the same institution. I've accumulated five years of experience in the teaching field and one year as a research assistant, honing my expertise in machine learning, neural networks and computer security. And I'm familiar with python, java, PHP, C, C++ and Android application development, MySQL, SQL (WAMP Server, XAMPP), Oracle.
