Bio

I knew as a teenager that technology was going to be the centerpiece of my career and hobbies. Now I'm an IT project manager by day, and a maker by night. I'm an Air Force veteran, Masters degree graduate, and FCC licensed Amateur Extra radio operator. Software, operating systems, and electronics are all pastimes that I turned into paying jobs.

I knew as a teenager that technology was going to be the centerpiece of my career and hobbies. Now I'm an IT project manager by day, and a maker by night. I'm an Air Force veteran, Masters degree graduate, and FCC licensed Amateur Extra radio operator. Software, operating systems, and electronics are all pastimes that I turned into paying jobs.

I've been an instructor for CompTIA certifications since 2012, mostly often Linux+. I've tutored middle school and high school students in introductory programming or electronics principles. I've tutored college students in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Electronic Engineering classes.

"Toy" electronics like Arduino and Raspberry pi are making hands-on electronics and programming more accessible than ever, and these skills pay real dividends at real jobs in information technology, engineering, or robotics industries. I'm open to tutoring any math or engineering subjects through undergrad - just let me know what your goals are and we can come up with a lesson plan.

I taught myself programming through independent study starting in high school, and got my first role as a developer in college. Now my day job is IT project manager, where I interact with servers, software, customer requirements, and business processes. If you're learning the initial concepts, developing hireable skills, or building a system to get real work done, I have years of personal experience that can speed along your learning journey.

I'm available evenings and weekends outside of business hours.

Computer Science

As a software developer, computer science is the foundation of everything we do. As a computer science student, software is often the only concrete example available for the concepts being studied. I studied Computer Science at University of South Florida, 2013 to 2016, and was gained employment as a developer before graduating.
Linux,

Linux

Linux has been my daily driver operating system for 15 years. I've taught intro-level certification classes on it and administered systems at home and at work. I have a few years of experience working with embedded Linux and single board computers (SBCs) as well.

Patient, focused, knowledgeable, and very reliable instructor.

John is an excellent instructor who is willing to help to solve complex and unfamiliar assignments. He helped me to develop Google OAuth code for the backend. He demonstrated his professionalism and great personality. I highly recommend this tutor.

Great problem solver

I had a project involving ROS and python with some complex goals and no idea where to start. John is super patient and knowledgeable and helped me figure out where to start and how to plan from there. He helped me to interpret the code and to better understand the multi-layered structure of the tools I have to use so that I could get a much better grip on my plan for success. I learned a lot! Will definitely be seeking time with John in the future and I recommend working with him.
