ABOUT ME
I write web games and other things. Black lives matter.
I write web games and other things. Black lives matter.

I'm Eli Dupree! I've been programming ever since I was a kid, and I love sharing my knowledge with other people.

I especially like giving my mentees the full picture of how things work. If you want to know not just WHAT to do, but also how it works, and why it works that way, we'll be a great match.

My favorite programming language. For my personal projects, I moved from C++ to Rust shortly after the release of Rust 1.4. – Built a web game, The Path, combining Rust and JavaScript using the stdweb library and emscripten – Built a system for procedurally generating music – Currently building TimeSteward, a game/simulation backend that automatically supports lockstep multiplayer with reliable synchronization, and other features (14,000 lines of Rust code) – Currently building a web app for synthesizing sound effects for game jammers – I can make lifetimes make sense

A great language for writing scripts that just get things done, without having to worry about technical rigor as much. My whole website is written in Python (or rather, it's a Python script that generates HTML/CSS/JavaScript files).

Eli's approach is to "trust the code" and read (and act!) on any error messages that your code gives back to you - these are vital clues to help solve your problem. Eli teaches you to how to use these clues to debug your code quickly and efficiently.

Eli is my go-to Python mentor for when I've spent hours on a problem. Eli will cut to the heart of the matter very quickly and produce a solution and explain it. I then take Eli's approach to problem-solving and apply that to other issues that arise. A first-class teacher.

Another excellent learning session with Eli. A quick session with Eli provides so much learning and further research. Time and money well spent.

Considering it was a language he wasn't 100% familiar with, he nailed it.

Eli always quickly grasps the problem, finds a solution, and then shares the explanation so you leave the session much more empowered and knowledgeable than before.
