Who I Mentor and Teach
- Absolute Beginners: Starting from scratch? We'll begin your web developer journey with a clear, supportive path.
- Students: Need focused help, project debugging, or interview prep? I specialize in building the core, foundational concepts that foster creative and practical execution.
- Active Developers: Have an existing project in motion? Get architectural counsel, code reviews, or tailored tutoring in a specific area of growth.
- Industry Professionals: Not a developer, but want to have a deeper understanding of what the “devs” do on your team? I can help you understand the technical depth behind the "what" and the "how."
My approach is rooted in empathy. I offer a safe, non-judgmental mentoring environment designed to treat you as the individual you are.

How Do We Get Started?
Reply through Craigslist and leave a brief email about yourself and your coding aspirations. I'll respond (usually within 24 hours).
Then, I offer a free 30-minute consultation to kick things off. This is a chance for us to chat about what specific topics you'd like to learn, review where you are in your current development journey, and tailor a plan that aligns with your goals. If, at the end of the consult, you feel it's not what you're looking for, that's completely okay—no pressure.
