Backstory
I started programming in 2018 after my mentor told me that it really fits the way I think.

Before I started I was learning marketing, working in Facebook Ads and Shopify Stores (with Google Analytics, VWO, and other website optimization softwares), I was more interested in automation, and building to do tasks only once.

I started at first learning Python for automation (which is still my primary language and what I really enjoy coding in). Eventually, I learned that by itself, Python isn't that sharable if you want other non-coders to use the my apps, so I grew my way into web development, diving deep into Django, HTML & CSS, building multiple sites with only those to get experience, for example:

And more :)

Then eventually learning JavaScript and the Vue.js framework to take my websites, designs, and User Experiences to the next level, building at first simple apps like my DollarPerHour Calculator (https://zackplauche.github.io/DollarPerHourCalculator/), and more advanced ones, like the current one I'm developing (still in progress, but it's the biggest app I've ever build, using both Vue.js and Django).

I've been teaching programming since 2019, and my students have loved me. I have students I work with that have been working with me weekly since I first started (more than 5 years now!). They helped me keep both my coding and teaching career sustainable as I was helping them with their issues, training them to be effective developers, starting my own software agency, and building my own apps.

I'm extremely grateful to my students and truly care about and do my best to support their success in whatever their endeavors.

TLDR: I can both code AND teach really well and I have 97+ 5 Star reviews on the tutoring platform Wyzant. You can see my profile here: https://www.wyzant.com/Tutors/LearnPythonWithZack I started teaching people how to code since July of 2019. Initially teaching general Python, then as I grew my Web Development skills, teaching Django, HTML, and CSS. I have the skill and talent for learning complex concepts and being teach them in a simple, digestible way to my students 🙂. You can read more in my bio, but I have students that have been working with me since I started my code teaching / mentoring career over 2 years ago because they love the way I teach and engage with them on our calls. I do my best to ensure that the student learns and is taken care of, learning what they're goal(s) are and helping them to achieve it. Using up-to-date best coding practices, and language specific best practices, I'm able to walk you through the process of debugging, problem solving, or building an app / business idea through to completion. I let my clients know when I can or can't help them, and I don't lie about knowing something I don't. So, whether you're wanting to learn to code or need a developer who knows what he's doing and you can feel safe with, I'd be more than happy to be your code mentor 😁!

This is the first website I built 🙂. I used this project to learn Django, HTML & CSS, and how to get a website online (in general), buy the domain name, and host it on Heroku. I was learning concepts at the same time I was teaching, pickup up best coding and website practices. I was learning Sass/Scss at the time as well.
