"Utterly lost in your class or project? Looking for your first job and build a successful career that you love? Want to build your first professional website? Or maybe just a real app that scales in the cloud? Or you just want someone you can read Hamlet, Plato’s Symposium, The Complete Essays of Montaigne, a biography or the news with? I'm a progressive educator who won’t tamper with you, I ask questions to engage your intelligence and support you for you.

Why entrust me with your dreams? I'm one of two founding co-leads of Thinkful’s Full Time Bootcamp which at the time became the #1 nationally rated Bootcamp in the U.S. by Course Reports. I was on the historic original core development team of Amply. I programmed electric vehicle charging infrastructure for local municipalities in California reducing cost for them, making a profit, receiving A Series Funding and lowering carbon emissions at scale. I lived four days and nights on and near the steps of the United States Senate to get the PACT Act passed which guaranteed 3.5 million veterans cancer treatment previously denied. I am Currently a nonprofit Director developing learning, creativity, development and a supportive society.

I don’t just help you get the job. With me you build a career you love, deserve and can keep. My students have built careers at Google, Rakuten, Auth0, Pearson Education, NBC, and more. I study with Dr. Loretta Ross and Loan Tran on creating Call In Culture where Human Rights are valued and supported with love. I help you learn the material for yourself. If you are making an app, we work together so you understand for yourself everything needed to build a quality app. My pedagogy is also inspired by John Dewey, Jean Piaget, Paolo Freire, Caroline Pratt, Deborah Meier, Alfie Kohn, Bell Hooks, George Lakey, Ella Baker, Eleanor Duckworth, Dr. David P. Langford, Dr. W. Edwards Deming, Dr. Russell Ackoff and John Seddon, among others. And it feels good: I have many students who tell me they felt joy learning for the first time." less...
