About Me
Immediately after graduation, I landed a job as a Software Engineer where I worked with the same client for around 5 years. I gained fast-tracked, intense experience and knowledge from the various roles, projects, and responsibilities I acquired and accumulated during my employment. Upon the end of my work experience, I acquired the title of Lead Software Engineer.
My goal is to bring hands-on experience from my prior work experience, and experience starting my own company while I was still in college, to the classroom for related courses.
My classes focus on hands-on learning and creating applications so students have tangible items to add to their resume/portfolio and potentially even turn into their own business if they choose to pursue that route.
In my free time, I keep myself occupied working on personal projects and/or consulting on projects to keep my skills sharp and up to date.
