Canada
Instructor and developer with over 15 years of experience in teaching and technical training across web and software development. I have worked with learners from diverse backgrounds and skill levels, focusing on practical, hands-on learning that builds confidence and real-world problem-solving skills. Teaching is not just my profession but also my passion. I enjoy breaking down complex technical concepts into clear, practical ideas that students can apply immediately in real scenarios. As I often say, “Every instructor can be a programmer, but not every programmer can be an instructor.” My background combines instructional experience with hands-on development across front-end and back-end technologies, including .NET and full-stack web development. I regularly integrate real coding examples, projects, and assignments into my teaching to bridge the gap between theory and practice. Recently completed a contract and currently open to opportunities in .NET development, full-stack development, software engineering, or hybrid technical and instructional roles. Open to both contract and full-time opportunities.
