I've been a published iOS developer since Oct 2008, and have been working with the NextStep/Cocoa libraries and ObjectiveC since 2001, and Swift since 2014. I have been an online mentor for Bloc.io for ~2.5 years, having started in Aug 2015 and have had many positive reviews. Several of my former students have published apps developed as capstone projects, with me helping guide through the process of going from idea to finished App (ex: Candidate Clash - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/candidate-clash-hillary-vs./id1078099338?mt=8 - I'm mentioned on the Credits screen). I'm easy to get along with, I get to the point and help my clients maintain a strong focus on achieving results.

Perl has been my go-to language to build new (non-iOS) software and glue pieces of technology together from disparate domains for nearly two decades. I was a founding member of ThousandOaks.pm, and still attend occasionally. 
I personally developed course materials (focused on back-end development using perl, ui design, and a bit of photoshop) and then taught the first web development class available at UCSB, back in 1999 while still an undergraduate. I also helped man the booth for SoCal PerlMongers at the 2017 SoCal Linux Expo in March, helping to expand the perl community. 

If you haven't tried programming in Perl, you should give it a try, it's a wonderful language to work with.
