“The programmer, like the poet, works only slightly removed from pure thought-stuff. He builds his castles in the air, from air, creating by exertion of the imagination. Few media of creation are so flexible, so easy to polish and rework, so readily capable of realizing grand conceptual structures.”
💬 Frederick P. Brooks
Professor of Applied Computer Science · Patent-Holding Inventor · Software Engineer
I build technical systems in the real world, then teach other people how to build them too.
20+ years shipping software across product, infrastructure, and client systems. Nearly a decade teaching full-stack development, data, and applied AI through live courses, labs, workshops, and debugging-heavy technical coaching. Built practical AI workflows for grading, code review, and curriculum support; led product and engineering as a technical founder; designed learning systems that make hard things buildable.
