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. Been living in Taipei for 15+ years, fluent in Chinese.
Got a problem? I will annihilate that problem! I've been a programmer since childhood and after helping a tech startup succeed in 2020 went on to teach programming and help people like you clear your coding roadblocks. While I don't know you, remember, I'm a lethal weapon, I will blast your problems and your headache out of your window. For real. That or a full refund. I won't pay for the glass though. And, if you're a naturally curious person who's interested in how things work and why they work that way, as opposed to only what to do, we'll fit together marvellously! Merry Christmas!
