As a software professional with over 25 years of experience, I bring both deep technical expertise and a passion for teaching to my tutoring. I studied Computer Science at Old Dominion University and hold certifications in Google Advanced Data Analytics and the Deep Learning Specialization. Throughout my career, I have led engineering teams, delivered large-scale technology transformations, and consistently mentored engineers at all levels, helping them develop the technical and problem-solving skills needed to succeed.
As part of my professional work, I wrote and taught highly rated software development courses designed specifically for adult programmers. These courses emphasized practical, real-world applications of programming concepts and were grounded in my industry experience. Beyond formal instruction, I have extensive one-on-one coaching experience, adapting my approach to meet individual needs and learning styles, whether that means breaking down complex algorithms or guiding someone through modern software practices.
My teaching philosophy centers on clarity, patience, and building confidence. I focus on connecting each lesson to a student’s personal or professional goals, making learning relevant and engaging. By combining industry knowledge with an approachable style, I help students not only master technical skills but also understand how to apply them in meaningful ways.
