12+ Years Teaching Experience

Teaching

I design courses that bridge theory and practice. Students leave with skills they can immediately apply—from writing production-ready SQL to building data pipelines on AWS.

Hands-On Learning

Every concept taught with real datasets and practical exercises. No death by PowerPoint.

Industry-Relevant

Curriculum aligned with what employers actually need. AWS, modern SQL, Python, and more.

Career-Focused

3x Career Success Influencer Award winner. I help students land jobs and succeed.
