ABOUT ME
Polyglot Software Developer & Instructor with 13+ years of experience
Polyglot Software Developer & Instructor with 13+ years of experience

I'm a polyglot fullstack software developer (I'm able to effectively work with multiple languages, tools, and frameworks) with over 13+ years of industry experience in web application development. I'm also an instructor and mentor in various bootcamps having lead class cohorts, mentored groups of students and 1:1 tutoring sessions. I'm experienced in Python, ECMAScript (Javascript or Node.js), Java, C# Ruby, PHP, and even Scala. I work in both frontend and backend spectrums of the web stack, so whether you're debugging something in React.js or you're stuck on a complex SQL query, I'm more than happy to help in your code debugging adventures.

My instruction style is that I like to guide the student towards learning how to solve rather than simply giving you the solution - I don't believe a student should be stuck on always referring back to a senior developer to get unblocked, but should be empowered to solve their own problems. Now that's real mentorship!

Any web application that requires you to persist data will have you working on queries. Inevitably, you'll also come across situations where the cookie-cutter ORM solution is just not good enough, and you'll need to pull out your SQL-querying skills to get the job done with performance in mind. Have extensive experience dealing with slow performant SQL queries and building complex queries for reporting purposes from SQL warehouses.

One of the first languages I learned as an aspiring coder. It's an oldie but a favourite of mine despite the heat it gets (C# definitely has some much nicer features and Java had been stagnant for some time). It's still one of the persisting languages still around for many existing projects especially in the finance/banking industry. I've also tutored quite a few students who had to learn Java and get used to it's strong typing aspects.

Had a really nice time learning RoR for a web project. A really fun language to use and it's great for getting projects scaffolded. Though I don't actively use it in my work today, I'm still an advisor on projects that use RoR.
