I hold a joint degree in Information Systems from Rutgers University and NJIT. Several years later, I attended an 8-month, full-time web development and business programming course at The Chubb Institute, where I received a certificate of completion with honors. During my studies there, I tutored fellow students and received high praise for my ability to help them understand the material.
After completing the course, I was hired as an instructor's assistant at Chubb for a full 8-month term. My students often told me they learned more from me than from the lead instructor because of how I simplified the concepts. After that course ended, I continued to tutor Chubb students privately for about two years.
Since then, I have spent 22 years working as a professional web developer for numerous companies, frequently receiving positive feedback for my work. I’ve worked with a wide variety of technologies and have an ability to quickly pick up new skills.
I find it very rewarding to share what I know. When I teach, I take my time to make sure my students have a full grasp of the concepts before moving forward. How my students learn is as important as what they learn. My focus is on helping students develop the problem-solving logic needed to think like a programmer, which is one of the most valuable skills you can have in this field. When working through a solution I have my students verbalize their thought process in order to find aspects of their problem solving skills that can be improved.
