I have been passionate about coding for most of the past 20 years. I offer the following: (1) Help people design, scaffold and understand customized learning paths to really kickstart your programmer life, (2) highlight, address and overcome the most difficult parts in the learner process, and (3) help people solve complex and frustrating programming problems.

My PhD dissertation was all about investigating and innovating on debugging tools. To that end, I have developed Dbux, an advanced Integrated Debugging Environment for JavaScript in VSCode.

When in the mode (and time allows), I would code for 60-80 hours a week, just going deeper and deeper, uncovering what the languages and frameworks are trying to hide from me, and using that to make things run the way I want them to. When I get coding, it's hard to stop me.

Before starting with my thesis, among many other things, I worked (only vert short-term) as a full-time engineer. I also worked as a coding coach and teacher for middle school, high school and university students, trying to organize "co-learning cohorts" that work together to learn programming fundamentals and use that to build awesome projects, mostly small games and web apps.
