Certified Tutor

I'm not just a tutor; I'm a Fortune 3 Senior Software Engineer with six years of professional experience delivering production-ready code. Along the way, I've mentored new hires, written documentation, managed projects, and reviewed code. Teaching and knowledge-sharing have been part of my daily professional experience for more than a decade.

My goal is simple: help students understand complex technical concepts through clear explanations, relatable metaphors, and practical examples. I love seeing "Aha!" moments when theory finally clicks into practice.

I specialize in Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), but I also teach a wide range of Computer Science and software engineering skills. Here are some of the areas I can help you master:
- Programming Languages: Java, C#, SQL, HTML/CSS/JavaScript
- Computer Science Concepts: from APIs to Zero-based indexing and everything in between
- Software Engineering Practices: Agile, Scrum, and the full Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC)
- Analytics & Tools: Flowcharts, UML diagrams, Power BI dashboards, Git and GitHub
- Microsoft Office Suite: Excel, PowerPoint, Word, and Visio

Whether you're preparing for an exam, a coding interview, or a professional project, I'll tailor each lesson to your learning style. My goal is that you walk away not just understanding the material, but feeling confident in applying it.

I look forward to hearing how I can help you grow in all things Computer Science and Software Engineering!

Hobbies

I'm a husband and father of four young kids, but I manage to get in some activities here and there. I love to play. Whether it's a board game that plays in ten minutes or ten hours, a Lord of the Rings TTRPG, or a LAN party with fifty friends, I love how play brings people together. I'm also deeply creative. I've tried painting, game design, creative writing, cooking and baking, and really anything that comes my way. My YouTube subscriptions include science communicators, cooks, tech personalities, linguists, musicians, and gardeners. If I'm not listening to a podcast while I do mindless tasks then I'm probably listening to a fantasy/sci-fi audiobook.
