ABOUT ME
A coder and teacher of programming and databases.
A coder and teacher of programming and databases.
I have been a teacher and a coder for many years. I like teaching especially with students who really want to learn. Over the years, I believe I have developed a teaching style that makes the concepts of programming understandable to almost everyone. I would like to work for Codementor because from the description I will work with other coders or at least very motivated learners. I would like to teach programming and relational databases in general. In a perfect world I would like to train younger coders on mainframe technologies.
