My educational background is in Information Technology, and I have always enjoyed learning technical tools by actually using them to build and solve real problems. Outside of my professional technology work, 3D printing and 3D design have become a major hands-on interest of mine. I regularly use Autodesk Fusion 360 for modeling and design, along with slicer software such as Bambu Studio, to take projects from an idea through a finished print.

My educational background is in Information Technology, and I have always enjoyed learning technical tools by actually using them to build and solve real problems. Outside of my professional technology work, 3D printing and 3D design have become a major hands-on interest of mine. I regularly use Autodesk Fusion 360 for modeling and design, along with slicer software such as Bambu Studio, to take projects from an idea through a finished print.
My teaching experience has primarily been informal and one-on-one, helping friends and other hobbyists understand 3D printing, troubleshoot problems, learn new software, and work through projects. I am patient and comfortable explaining the same concept in different ways when something does not immediately make sense. I prefer practical, project-based learning rather than having someone simply follow a long series of generic exercises.
I especially enjoy helping beginners who have a 3D printer but want to move beyond downloading existing models and begin creating or modifying their own. Lessons can cover Fusion 360, 3D modeling, printer and slicer basics, Bambu Studio, preparing models for printing, supports and print settings, troubleshooting failed prints, modifying existing designs, or working together on a specific project the student wants to create. Complete beginners are welcome, and lessons can be tailored to each student's experience level and goals.
