ABOUT ME
Web developer and teacher
Web developer and teacher

I have over 9 years of experience working on various software projects across a range of industries since transitioning into teaching and mentoring. In my current role I teach and tutor software development to individuals looking to make career changes into tech, or those looking to add another profitable skill to their tool belt.

With over a decade of experience in teaching as well as developing software apps from small startups to large enterprise corporations, I am looking to get back into offering mentorship and teaching.
Currently offering mentorship in React, Node, Python, Django/Flask, Java, Spring, Firebase and WordPress.

Available for freelance work as well.

I undertook learning React only a year or two after it was released. With the exception of one or two contracts, every job or contract I've had has been using React to build scalable user interfaces.

I have used TypeScript primarily over the last few years in the state government, healthcare and service industries because of a lot of company's desires to cut down time on fixing errors and wanting more scalable structure in their applications.

I have been using Flask for years now at this point. I have made countless microservices and APIs with Flask because of it's unopinionated structure. Next to Django, it is the framework I've used the most, in life.

I cut my teeth in this full-bodied framework as it was one of the first ones I completed the most projects with. I have created quite a few microservices and APIs using Django's MVC architecture.

Primarily dealing with Wordpress in the e-commerce industry, this was a very popular option to use and develop with when Wordpress was at its apex. Every now and then I come back to Wordpress to use it as a CMS for some project I'm working on.

Helpful but when I had to go to a meeting he kept my session running and when I came back, did not answer. So I had to pay extra for no extra help.
