I have over 10 years experience as an engineer and mentor. I have guided hundreds of students into their first development job with a focus on React and TypeScript. I can help you assemble and manage a team of developers or coach you through an individual project. I provide full support to development job-seekers, from mock interviews to career coaching. I also started without a formal background in computer science. I know you can cross that gap in an engaging, accessible, and fun way.
I have expertise with using hooks, context, and component frameworks like Chakra UI. I have directed projects as a fullstack web development and machine learning engineer with numerous technologies including Firebase, jQuery, and p5. I also love game development, collaboration, and forward thinking projects.
Everyone that wants to make great software should be able to. I can help you learn to make apps with the features you want and explain exactly how they work. If you want to become a professional software engineer or entrepreneur and are eager to gain the necessary knowledge, I would be honored to help you improve your understanding, code, or career.

David greatly helped improve my frontend skills and overall understanding of web development. He taught me Next.js, supported me with my internship project, and with personal projects. He also reviewed my CV and provided valuable guidance on how to search for jobs effectively. I learned a lot from him, and I truly appreciate all the time and support he gave me. It was a pleasure working and learning with him. Thank you for everything!

Ten months in, and I can say with full confidence that working with David was one of the best investments I made in my development as a programmer. When I started, I was someone learning to code independently with no real roadmap. David gave me something that is hard to find: the actual tools and workflows that professionals use, not a watered-down version of them. He never dumbed things down or made me comfortable in a way that kept me small. He consistently pushed me toward the highest leverage work and trusted me to rise to it. What stood out most over the long run was his patience and his humanity. Programming is an emotionally demanding craft, and David understood that. During stretches that were difficult not just technically but personally, he showed up with the kind of kindness that goes beyond the job description. I will always be grateful for that. After ten months I have reached a point where I feel equipped to move forward on my own, and that is entirely because of the foundation he helped me build. That is the best thing you can say about a mentor. If you are serious about growing as a developer and want someone who will treat you like a professional from day one, David is the person.

I’m glad I met David. He’s a great communicator, always knows where to look when problems come up, and is an excellent developer overall. We’ve worked together for several months, and I’ve genuinely felt in good hands the entire time. He’s been consistent throughout the project and always clear about expectations. I came here looking for someone trustworthy to get the job done, and I definitely found that and more. Not only do I appreciate the quality of his work, but he’s also, genuinely, an excellent teacher, something that’s surprisingly hard to find. He’s always willing to explain things clearly and share his knowledge, which made working with him even more valuable. Thank you David!
