About Michael

Hi! I am a full stack software engineer for Brillion with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from the University of West Georgia. I've been in the industry since September of 2020, and have an expertise in .NET, SQL Server, and web development (HTML CSS JS). However, I am able to quickly learn whatever object oriented tech stack you have decided to learn.

I love to cultivate a passion of coding like the one I have myself. Programming can be overwhelming, but with guidance, it can become as clear as reading a novel. I love sharing the knowledge I've gained, and giving others the mindset they need to succeed in their programming goals.

I have jumped on opportunities to teach what I know all my life, but my first exposure would be teaching a guest class on graphic design at Carrollton High School. I also work with several interns every day, helping them grow as developers.

I received a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from the University of West Georgia in 2021, and immediately began a software engineering position. Since joining, I have developed large full stack features for our web application, crafted systems to automate tedious tasks, and integrated third party systems into our project.

About the lesson

Instead of simply explaining what code to write, I ensure that the fundamentals of programming are solid. Anyone can follow instructions to create programs, but having the insight to recognize the correct approach to a problem, or to integrate several solutions together can be difficult. It is important to understand the current mindset of a student to be able to instruct them effectively. Everyone approaches coding differently, and will have a unique learning method. Identifying this, then working through some examples welll help the student to understand what gaps they have in their knowledge, and how to close them.

I have worked with high school and college students.

Look for a teacher that cares about clean code, not just functional code. Even if your code works, dirty code will still lead to wasted time in the long run. Programs are not static, they are living, constantly changing. If a teacher simply shows you hacks to accomplish a goal, they will effectively be sabotaging your future projects without ever meaning to.

Recently, I had a student approach me who was lacking confidence in their programming studies. We sat and examined their code, and talked about "the why" behind their code. Why they decided to break the classes up the way they did, why certain variables were public and why others were private. Through this, I helped them form a new understanding of code, and they left feeling ready to tackle their next assignment.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Finding the core problem can save a lot of time. When many students run into an issue, they will come straight to me to ask what is wrong with that particular piece of code. Then in the next few days, they will continue to come back with similar issues in different pieces of code. Detecting this pattern is important, as it will allow the teacher to resolve a base issue and launch the student forward in their programming studies.

Perfect! Michael has worked with me over the past few months and he's definitely helped me better understand how python works. He knows his stuff and is able to adapt to different learning styles. I would highly recommend him if you need a better understanding of programming.

I had an excellent overall experience with Michael. He was very patient with me and really helped me to understand the material that I needed help with. There are a lot of tutors that just hand people the answers, but Michael made sure that I understood the process. Michael made sure I didn't feel silly for asking questions and I could tell he was genuinely happy to help. I HIGHLY recommend working with Michael. 10/10 would work with again :)
