Hello! My name is Michael Hoare and I work as a data engineer in the public sector. I am a self-taught programmer as I obtained my undergraduate degree in finance from Indiana University of Pennsylvania and earned my Master's degree at Virginia Tech in Business Intelligence.

I specialize in teaching introductory python, SQL, and databases. These skills are extremely useful for anyone who deals with data, including business analysts and entry level-developers.

In my personal experience, the best way to learn these skills is to apply them. Hence, my teaching is very interactive where we are constantly typing code and seeing the output.

Hope to see you soon!
