Philosophy and Mission

Full Stack Developer who designs, develops, and teaches experiences that make people's lives simpler. I have built and taught all things JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. I am also passionate about all things Git and Command Line. I feel it important that people (or students) should become better acquainted with their operating systems and understand how they work under the hood, and what better way than the Command Line and Git. In addition, Command Line is essential for working with a variety of developer tools. I have taught on two operating systems. Windows and macOS. I work on both myself. I discovered that more and more of my students were using Windows, and I did not want to exclude that population. I covered the Windows CMD Prompt and PowerShell, Git, Node.js and npm. Everything the macOS users installed and used, the Windows users installed the equivalent of and used as well. This made the teaching all inclusive. I took a very hands on approach, and believe in learning by doing. I am a strong proponent of the Maker Culture as regards Web Development, and my goal was (and still is) to foster it in my teaching and building. Since the onset of COVID-19, I began teaching seniors about their computers too. I found senior students CAN be very eager and quick to learn. Now I would like to apply this philosophy and mission outside of the classroom! Seeking the next adventure that would match the skills and experience I have to offer!

Teaching is great, but there is nothing like building applications, especially as part of a team, or helping others find solutions to their technological issues, which are useful to them and contribute to bettering and/or making their lives simpler!
