About Chris

I've been a software developer in the mobile industry since 2006 and started working with Android when it was first released. Since then, I've worked on many successful apps with millions of users, including leading Android development for the initial release of the Play Disney Parks app, and the subsequent update for the Star Wars land launch. During my career, I've led multiple large teams of developers, including setting implementation strategies, doing code reviews, and mentoring developers to help them hone their craft. Now, I'm offering that same professional grade mentoring to students.

Outside my professional career, I've tried to give back by speaking at schools about programming and working on open source projects. Before I started programming, I also taught saxophone to help pay my way through college. During college, I was the president of the Video Game Development Club at University of California, Irvine (UCI), where I got my degree in Information and Computer Science. While at UCI, I also had a specialization in AI, and have continued to follow trends in both AI and games. I've even started working with hardware (ex. Arduino) as a hobby, eventually assembling my own 3D printer. While that may all seem unrelated, I ended up being the digital audio expert at a mobile game company, worked on app connectivity to hardware at multiple companies, and helped companies evaluate potential AI opportunities, so you never know how extracurricular interests can intersect with your career.

About the lesson

Your lessons will be tailored to whatever you want to learn or improve on, helping you become a better developer. Whether you're looking for expert code reviews with constructive feedback, getting help with challenging problems, or just trying to figure out what to work on next, we'll work through it all together. I'll also share insights into what the app development industry is really like, including tips for successful interviews, if that's what you need.

While I primarily focus on Android development, I can also work with students targeting other platforms using Java or Kotlin code. You don't need to be a professional developer or even taking programming classes, but some basic experience with Android, Java, and/or Kotlin is recommended. There are plenty of resources online to help you learn basic software development for any of these, and once you're ready, I can help you take it to the next level.

With the first lesson free, there's no risk in scheduling one to see how I can help you.
