About
I am an engineer and mentor with a passion for helping others. I have several years of experience as a professional software development teacher, helping hundreds of students get jobs using JavaScript, Typescript, and Node. I focus on modern React using hooks, context, and component frameworks like Material-UI and React-Bootstrap. I also have more than 5 years of experience as a fullstack web development and machine learning engineer with numerous technologies including Firebase, jQuery, and p5. I earnestly love vanilla JavaScript, and have several years of professional experience with other languages including Python, C#, and ActionScript.
My specialties are absolute beginners, small businesses, and aspiring engineers. For new coders I offer tutoring services from bootcamp support to long-term mentoring and a complete educational experience. I consider it an honor to help someone access the world of digital creation for the first time. I also started without a formal background in computer science. I know you can cross that gap in an engaging, accessible, and fun way.
For small business I offer technical consulting, collaboration, and pair coding informed by years of programming and management experience. I love the art of software engineering, but my real joy is helping other people master what they want to make. I know how to architect reliable, scalable, and beautiful software that embraces best practices and meets deadlines.
Everyone that wants to make great software should be able to. If you want to become a professional software engineer or entrepreneur and are eager to gain the necessary knowledge, I can help you learn to make apps with the features you want and explain exactly how they work. I would be honored to help anyone improve their understanding, code, or career.
