Experience Summary
I have worked on personal projects launching web sites and web servers and for large and small companies developing and deploying dynamic, database driven web sites to lots of people. I am a quick learner and know how to learn quickly. I have teaching experience teaching music for several years privately and to grade school.
Teaching Style
I prefer a hands on approach. We will work on lots of programming problems, we will program a lot, and you will leave with a program to show and a greater fundamental understanding of the content.
My Hobbies
Programming, playing trumpet, guitar, and piano. Playing pool. Reading hacker news and breaking into systems (legally of course).
