I have 28 years in IT as a software developer, technical lead developer, software architect, and cybersecurity engineer. I have mentored and led junior developers. I even taught English in Japan for ... a year where I learned what it takes to prepare lesson plans for a small group of students. I find mentoring to be very rewarding. I am very intuitive on where a student is and what he needs to level up. read more

I was born to be a software developer. There was a time during the early part of my career when I started wondering if I should do something else. So being the adventurous person I was, I moved to J... apan to teach English. I loved the country and loved teaching, but realized I had to come back to America and go back to IT. That's where my true passion is. Now I'm in my 28th year of being in IT -- I have expertise in computer programming, leading teams of engineers, software architecture, and I even have a bit of cybersecurity in there. I have done IT work in many industries including space, defense, semiconductor, finance, auto insurance, health insurance, tourism, retail and more. My eyes have seen it all and I would love to share that knowledge with junior software students.read more
