About me
I teach team work-related things like Git and DevOps as well as Web Development, mostly JavaScript, React.js, Node, and .NET, conducting courses both on-premises and online. Apart from this I'm a Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT) and deliver Microsoft Official Courses on the same subjects. I also do official classes on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) as an Authorized Trainer.
In past: 18 years in software development, dozens of completed web and intranet projects, leading teams, developing software in JavaScript and .NET tech stacks. Please, see my LinkedIn profile.
I follow these principles.
Explain things as simple as possible, but still correctly.
Condense the theory to avoid wasting time.
Use exercises to help master theory.
Labs are the king.
Improve something every time.
I'm based in Toronto, Canada but don't mind taking a flight. Please see some certifications I hold and feedback I received for my services.
