ABOUT ME
Installed a Perl module? You're using my code.
Installed a Perl module? You're using my code.
If you're having Perl, Git, SQL, C or testing problems, I can help.
If you have a Perl problem, maybe a bug in a module, or a regex isn't working, or it's slow, maybe CPAN trouble, not only can I help, I might have caused the problem.
If Git has you totally perplexed, I can help make Git make sense.
And if you have a problem writing tests, what should you test, how should you write tests, how should you structure your tests, I can help.
Happy coding!

I make Git make sense. I can teach you Git so you really understand what's going on, how to use it most effectively, and to get the most out of Git.
If you got yourself into a mess with Git, I can help you get out of it. Merge conflicts, rebase issues, I can help.

I can help you think in C, deal with memory management issues, and select the right functions to use (and avoid the dangerous ones).

Highly recommend. I very much appreciated all the time and effort he's clearly spent into delivering Git concepts in a way that's digestible (and makes sense), for someone new to the game of Git.
I felt that he was able to follow my train of thought(questions), which is to say, he was flexible in his teaching style as opposed to being dependent on rigid frameworks in order to deliver the bigger picture to his students.

Michael was very knowledgeable and patient - not only was he able to solve my issue but he took the time to make sure I knew why I was having the issue and how it was solved

Michael was incredibly helpful! He helped me re-write my code from scratch and also explained why he suggested what he did. I hadn't learned most of the concepts we went over so his debrief helped me understand how to make my code more efficient.
