| Biography: | I am a married father of 4 children who loves to program and I in turn enjoying leading courses on the topics of web development and other programming technologies. I believe in mentoring students toward professional readiness by introducing collaborative workflows, version control, and best practices in software engineering. My goal is for students to leave my courses not only understanding the concepts, but also having built meaningful projects that demonstrate their skills to employers. |
| Teaching and Research Interests: | My teaching philosophy centers on bridging the gap between academic theory and real-world application. As both an industry practitioner and university instructor, I strive to create a learning environment where students gain practical experience while developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills. In courses such as Web Development and Coding for FinTech, I emphasize hands-on learning through labs, projects, and iterative feedback. Students are encouraged to build working applications using modern technologies while adhering to industry standards such as HTML5 validation, responsive design, and structured programming principles. |
