"Hi! I invite you to tap into over 30 years of industry software development and writing experience.

My knowledge is grounded in solid academic and professional experience.

Therefore, I can offer both a practical and theoretical flavor to a lesson plan.

My areas of expertise include:

+ C & C++ Programming

+ Java Programming

+ Python Programming

+ Object Oriented Design/Development

+ HTML and other Web related standards

+ SQL Programming, Data Modeling and DB Schema Design

+ Linux/UNIX Shell Scripting - and other aspects of the Linux/UNIX platform

+ General Computer Science and Software Development skills - e.g., algorithms, data structures, ...

+ technical writing (or, plain-old writing)

My style is rather fluid - I typically start with a standard lesson plan for a given subject, and tailor it for your needs in real time.

I'm an Adjunct Lecturer at CUNY/CSI and BMCC, and have a passion for sharing what I know - allowing others, at various levels of their own development, to leapfrog into areas that might otherwise appear intimidating without a guiding hand.

And that is what this "tutoring thing" is all about.

I present a bare bones sketch and some tools; you build the confidence to apply color, and bring a skill to life.

If you're looking to jump start into using specific programming languages such as C, Java, Python or Shell; or wrap your head around software development concepts; or to tear down a mental block around written communication skills, please reach out. I would love to help you out.

I look forward to sharing what I've learned with you.
