ABOUT ME

⚡Developer advocate with 16+ years coding experience⚡

Thank you for considering my vast coding experience, skills, and wisdom to eliminate your coding bugs! 🤜🐞🤛 (and how to prevent them)

I enjoy helping others solve software problems and learning how to get better at solving them on their own that is both strategic as well as efficient. Having worked in the public and private sectors for many years, attending many software events, delivering numerous coding webinars and demos, and regularly mentoring peers and students -- I have the skills and strategic knowhow you need to identify, resolve, and prevent a wide variety of coding issues dealing with: JavaScript, Java, HTML, CSS, and numerous other full stack technologies. I strongly believe mentoring is a joint learning experience that helps all participants to sharpen their skills even further.
