ABOUT ME
Boot-camp instructor, previously worked as a software engineer
Boot-camp instructor, previously worked as a software engineer
I fell in love with writing code ~10 years ago when I wrote my first line of Python. I wanted to learn to code just out of curiosity -- I've always loved computers. Since then I've worked as a software engineer, mainly doing full stack JavaScript. I "made my millions" in 2015, and decided my true passion is teaching. I finished a computer science degree then got a job at a boot-camp teaching an advanced JavaScript course.
I also have taught a Python course, as well as tutored a bunch of college students (mainly helping them with their C/C++ homework).
I have experience in over a dozen languages, but JavaScript is my strongest due to all the professional experience I have with it.

React is the framework I teach my students in the Advanced JavaScript course I teach. I've also used it professionally to build web interfaces as well as native apps using React Native.
One of the things I like to do with students is to show how to build a mini React framework from scratch using smaller libraries. It really helps to demystify the concepts when you see how a React-like framework is made.

Node is my primary language for creating web servers. I've used Node professionally to build out REST web servers, as well as a back-end scripting language for various tasks such as web-scraping and batch payment processing jobs.

I've been building web servers with Express for 5+ years. Usually the servers I build are REST APIs for a single-page-application, though I've also used templating engines to serve static web pages from Express.
Express is the main framework we use in the Advanced Javascript course I teach. Typically I start students out by showing how to build servers with vanilla Node, then we look at how Express makes it much easier.

Have spent a lot of time writing cloudformation to define infrastructure and automate deployments on AWS. At a previous job we did everything "serverless", so I got very familiar with lambda, step functions, dynamodb, SQS, etc.

Evan is very knowledgable and helped explain a lot of concepts I wasn't quite getting. He spent a half an hour with me on our first session free of charge just to see if it'd be a good fit. I highly recommend him and will be reaching out to him again in the future!

Full stack Javascript development, working on a React Native app for teaching braille.
We used Redux, AWS Lambda, and many other modern technologies. It was a small team, so I wore many hats. Worked on the UI, built some in-app games, data validation, REST endpoints, and more. At one point created a Flask app with Python since we needed a certain library that wasn't available in Node. Whatever it takes to get the job done!
