Computer Programming

I specialize in Full Stack Web Development (JavaScript/HTML/CSS, React, NodeJS/ExpressJS, MonogDB) and Machine Learning (Python), as well as Data Structures and Algorithms (interview prep stuff, I regularly give SWE interviews at Google and am involved in hiring decisions), large scale Distributed Systems (the whole shebang), and Software Engineering concepts (OOP, design, you name it). I have worked for the largest companies in the world and am certified in Agile practices (SaFE), I've been a dev lead and currently am as a freelance dev on top of my day job at Google, working very closely with AI. I have a strong "coach" mentality in the sense that I'm great at building interest, curiosity, and drive in the individuals I work with. Finding what interests them and building off that to deliver deeper understanding of fundamental concepts and then expanding it to show the breadth of the domain it covers is my speciality. I'm a Google Engineer with experience in Software Engineering (full-stack, Desktop Apps, Mobile Apps, etc), System Administration (Networking, Kubernetes, Cloud, Web, Database Administration, etc), and Computer Engineering (Computer Hardware, Circuits, etc). I have programmed in Python, C/C++, Java, HTML/CSS, JavaScript, C#, Go, and many other languages. I am familiar with Frameworks like Ruby on Rails, Angular, React. I am a hobbyist, professional, and expert throughout the realm of Computing. And for Machine Learning / AI: I'm a Google Engineer working with and on the top AI systems in the world. I have been personally responsible for bringing AI functionality directly into Google's Google Chat product as well as internal AI systems that provide automation and AI-driven support experiences to enhance vendor-provided support system across the entire Google Cloud organization. Beyond that, for freelance jobs, I have built an entirely AI-driven instructor system that integrates with Google Slides, Google Sheets and other services and provides a complete AI automated educational system and

Information Technology

Information Technology

I have worked in the IT industry for over 10 years. All things tech, from Cloud-based systems down to the hardware and on-premise systems. I have direct experience with all the modern day (and older) tooling and practices, I am current, up-to-date so you don't waste your time learning anything you won't need or use. This includes Cloud services (Google Cloud, AWS, Azure), Linux OS (including CLI, OS concepts, etc), popular tooling like ZooKeeper, Cassandra, PostgreSQL, and Kubernetes. I have deep experience with the whole of Kubernetes and am certified via CKA and CKAD, Kubernetes is something I work in every day not just at Google but for my business platform I have built as well as several freelance gigs (including using Cloud-based services for them all, Heroku, you name it... industry best-practices and general tooling that is used, I am 100% familiar and fluent in it and can help you get up to speed, rapidly, and thoroughly to be industry-ready out-the-gate). Beyond that, my sessions are project-focused, meaning you will have resume-ready code (I will even walk you through any Git commands and repo setup needed if you don't already know how to do that). You name it, anything IT, I have full and utter experience. From Full Stack to MicroControllers, to Cloud services, to Large Scale Distributed Systems, Machine Learning, low-level languages like C or even Assembly, Python, C++, Java, libraries like React, Angular, backend tools like MongoDB, PostgreSQL (NoSQL and SQL DBs), NodeJS/ExpressJS, TypeScript, deployments and management of large-scale systems (as I do on a regular basis on my own for freelance services I provide), etc. I have also been a Developer Lead of a team, I have interviewed candidates AT GOOGLE and other large Fortune 500 companies, I have intense, robust experience in Data Structures and Algorithms, interview prep, and preparing students for interviews (even here on Wyzant), giving crash courses in Data Structures / Algorithms and sharing rubric-backed tips to get through interviews at

Machine Learning/ AI

Machine Learning/ AI

I'm a Google Engineer working with and on the top AI systems in the world. I have been personally responsible for bringing AI functionality directly into Google's Google Chat product as well as internal AI systems that provide automation and AI-driven support experiences to enhance vendor-provided support system across the entire Google Cloud organization. Beyond that, for freelance jobs, I have built an entirely AI-driven instructor system that integrates with Google Slides, Google Sheets and other services and provides a complete AI automated educational system and presentation abilities for students K-12 as well as for enterprise use (presentation-as-a-service). Beyond that still, I have taught Machine Learning from scratch (the old-school Linear Regression, K-Means, and other Machine Learning models, the whole field, from the fundamental nitty gritty details of the mathematics and probability and statistics), all the way up to MLPs, Recurrent Neural Networks, Convolutional Networks (image generations), and, of course, modern-day Transformers. This includes training Deep Neural Networks, Large Scale Machine Learning practices (how the industry does it, how distributed systems are leveraged, how ChatGPT works, YOU NAME IT), all the way to leveraging OpenAI APIs (to both fine-tune a model and use pre-trained / base models or to leverage gpt-4 and other state-of-the-art models) and HuggingFace models/APIs, TensorFlow, PyTorch, etc. YOU NAME IT. I have experienced and taught it all. Over 7 years of Machine Learning experience. And, I am FRONT AND CENTER, at Google, working on and with these cutting-edge technologies so I KNOW the latest trends and techniques to get the MOST out of AI systems as well as what's coming and what's possible so YOU CAN PREPARE for the next phase of AI.

React

React

As a Google Engineer, I have worked closely with the React ecosystem for in-house products and services. I use React for my own business platform I've developed as well as throughout all of my large-scale Freelance development jobs. I am familiar with the whole breadth of React as well as industry best-practices so that you can not just learn and understand how React works to a degree that you'll be able to ace through interviews and land high paying jobs, but also able to leverage it as it's meant to be used, including how to use AI systems to help generate React code for you and how to vet it and integrate that generated code into large-scale products (AI code generation chat bots LOVE React because of how modular it is, it is also the best library of code to have AI generate since it makes the whole of the UI able to be interacted with in a modular form, allowing you to get the most out of the limited context that AI chat bots have). Beyond that, I have taught React for over 4 years now in a Full Stack setting (including backend NodeJS / ExpressJS, MongoDB tooling), as well as the full of HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Web Development (the whole of Full Stack Engineering is my specialty, with a focus on React for frontend development). In other words, I can help you not just learn React but to use it in a large-scale project and be your one-stop-shop for ANYTHING Full Stack engineering so you can take the skills and build a business, get a high paying tech job, whatever your heart desires... Even more, I teach with project-focused sessions so you WILL have resume-ready code on the other side and a COMPLETE understanding of not just React, but the whole Full Stack ecosystem and how it all ties together, enforcing and furthering the depth of your understanding for good.

Amazing tutor in every capacity!

I am a 24 year-old who graduated with a CS degree last May. I began finishing prereqs for medical or dental school. In December, I decided it was not for me and started applying for software engineer jobs. Brandon helped me prepare for two technical assessments. He is highly intelligent, patient, kind, supportive, and an all around great teacher. Additionally, he has a talent for teaching well because he knows just the right questions to ask or subtle information to give in order for the student to arrive at the conclusion themselves. So, I did not use any other tutors from that point on when preparing for my assessments. In any case, I was just offered positions by two very reputable companies and I feel grateful to Brandon for his help and teaching. He also offered career guidance regarding the offers I received after his tutoring. Needless to say, I am thrilled!

Patient and Knowledgeable DSA Mentor

Working with Brandon was a great experience. As an experienced engineer, I wanted to improve my DSA (Data Structures and Algorithms) skills for upcoming interviews, and he turned out to be the ideal mentor. He explains complex algorithmic ideas clearly and helped me see problems in a new way. His coaching made a real difference in my interview prep, giving me both confidence and a stronger technical foundation. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to master the basics or get ready for important technical interviews.
