Who's this Z guy?
Hi, I'm Mike Zamansky.
I'm a retired computer science teacher living in New York City considering what to do for my next chapter.
I finished out my career at Hunter College but spent most of it building the computer science program at Stuyvesant High School.
Prior to that I taught at Seward Park High School and before teaching, did computer work on Wall Street at Goldman Sachs.
At Hunter College I created New York's first operating state approved computer science teacher certification programs. By the time I left, we had trained and the state certified New York's first 100 licensed computer science teachers.
I also created Hunter's undergraduate compute science honors program. A scholarship program that allowed students to receive a great undergraduate computer science education with many advantages that students at the "elite" programs of the city don't enjoy at a fraction of the cost.
Prior to my tenure at Hunter, I had built Stuyvesant High School's computer science program, arguably the finest high school computer science program in the country.
I also love tabletop gaming, cooking, baking, biking and a variety of other things.
Hope you enjoy my ramblings.
