I'm the type of person that likes to delve into a new subject and figure things out along the way. I find it helps to learn if you just keep moving. I like to do my best to understand things inside out and I'll do my best to help you reach that same level.
I've been teaching programming since 2018 to people of different ages. I'm specialized mostly in teaching how to start programming from scratch: basics of programming languages + basics of computer science. But I always have in mind a long-term perspective for my students and try to develop useful skills just from the start of our work.
2002-2020: I played guitar, bass, & sang with a variety of cover, metal, folk, and industrial bands; I was a live & studio audio engineer, and I wrote & recorded music & sound FX for video games, but primarily I was a teacher of music.
2006: I launched a music education software startup
In 2017 I shifted focus to VR; I've installed 80+ VR theaters in 12 cities around the US, specializing in Pico, Vive, & HTC, large-scale video screens.
I've also run VR events for theaters, rock venues, and McCormic Center.
I'm a self-taught game developer and programming instructor. With my name on three published titles (Land of Screens, Half-Past Fate, Bow Battle Arenas), I have experience working in a small studio setting under Serenity Forge and Denis Entertainment Inc.
I got my start 20 years ago creating popular niche games using Warcraft 3 and the Lua based coding syntax. I also built up coding logic using multiple titles from the RPG Maker series, and gave back by producing several tutorials for the engine on game engine forums and Youtube.

I've spent several years recently focusing on Unity and using the Unity Editor to build more complex 3D Games, as well as experimenting with the Python language, Lua, and Roblox to build and expand game development. I've even taken a brief foray into Unreal Engine.
I've learned to develop for VR, Mobile, Console and PC.
My thirst for knowledge is unquenchable, and I've practiced 3d modeling, photoshop and pixel art as well. I'm familiar with a wide range of industry standard development tools, techniques, paradigms and practices in game development and Unity development both in terms of coding and designing.
I've built and taught game development in Unity, Unreal Engine, RPG Maker, Roblox, Godot, and more. I consider myself software agnostic.
I'm self-taught in Lua, C#, Python, Javascript, Blender and Java at different levels for each. I teach most of them at a high level, and enjoy building programs and working within engines. Infact, one of my core abilities is in teaching others, but my true passion is in game development, where I spend my free time focusing.
I have over 1500 hours of lessons taught building games with Lua & Roblox, over 600 hours of lessons taught in Unity, and over 300 lessons taught in Python, over 100 in Unreal Engine and 100 in Godot. That's not even including the thousands of hours spent on independent research, reading purchased e-books from many authors, and building my own projects and participating in game jams.
When it comes to teams I'm cooperative and focused on helping others. I'm also self-sufficient, and know how to find answers. I use communication to build rapport, which is something I seek in my work environment, rapport with my fellow workers, and to exchange ideas, solutions and direction.
I'm a potent leader, and often excel in such positions.
I'm Eli Dupree! I've been programming ever since I was a kid, and I love sharing my knowledge with other people.
I especially like giving my mentees the full picture of how things work. If you want to know not just WHAT to do, but also how it works, and why it works that way, we'll be a great match.
I succeed or your **money back.**
Skillset includes: python, elixir, rust, golang, c++, lua et al.
Diving into, understanding and debugging codebases alien to me is one of my core expertise.
I run a software development shop called essentia.dev and actively participate in the open source communities in India.

How does it work?
- We start a 1:1 session.
- Both of us join the zoom call.
- You start the session timer and pause it.
- You share your screen and explain the problem statement.
- I do some research if necessary.
- We resume the timer and I try to help.
- Full refund if I do not succeed.
IMPORTANT: If you want to contact me, and your timezone is significantly different, feel free to just open a session request during my timezone evenings (after 8pm till midnight). I've noticed that figuring out the request details via chat is extremely cumbersome.
I'm a professional developer working on Application Performance Management in Dynatrace; currently stationed in Gdynia, Poland.
I've done a number of jobs in the past, including Graphics Driver development at Intel, Game Development at Huuuge Games and other, potentially unrelated things.
I've started programming wanting to be a game developer, so there's a huge chance I can help you with your C++ game project. I also know my ways around the low-level parts of C and C++.
Right now my main focus at work is Node.js, so if you have some questions about that, ask away. I also did a fair share of weird front-end experiments, so Three.js, WebGL and stuff like WebWorkers don't scare me.
And finally, if you need some tips about Haskell or functional programming in general, that's my personal hobby area.
In general, don't hesitate to ask, as I always try to get the feeling for your problem so that we both end up satisfied!

Freelance work:
The cost of freelance work is difficult to estimate based on one-liners. If you don't have a detailed requirement specification I am not interested in taking it up as freelance work.
However, we can have a paid session where I help you draft one, after which I may be interested.

I fell in love with coding at age 13 and haven't looked back since. I've learned lots of languages along the way, but I'd have to say my favorites are Solidity and JavaScript. I'm a huge proponent of science/tech education, free speech and digital privacy rights.
