Experience

1. Coding Coach

   Thecoderschool

   May 2020 — Present · San Francisco, CA, US

   I don’t just teach students how to code; I teach them how to create, innovate, and think differently. I lead one-on-one sessions focused on empowering the next generation of creators by transforming ideas into reality. At TheCoderSchool, I specialize in guiding students through the art of full-stack development, game design, and algorithmic thinking, using tools like JavaScript, Java, Python, C#, and Unity3D.My approach is simple yet profound: spark curiosity, ignite ambition, and cultivate a mindset of endless possibility. Every lesson begins with a bold idea—a vision of what could be—and a challenge that demands creativity, logic, and determination to solve. When I was younger, I had countless ideas but lacked the means to bring them to life. That’s why I focus on teaching my students the most valuable skill of all: how to learn. Their potential is bound only by the limits of their imagination.Dynamic Curriculum Design:Crafted adaptive learning experiences, blending foundational programming concepts with cutting-edge technologies like React for front-end development, Node.js for back-end scalability, and Unity3D for immersive game design.Introduced industry practices such as live debugging, version control (Git), CI/CD pipelines, and containerization (Docker) to prepare students for professional development environments.STEM Innovation Advocacy:Inspired a culture of curiosity and critical thinking, guiding students toward fields like artificial intelligence, software engineering, and game design by showing them the \"why\" behind the \"how.\"
