In todays age everyone must become a life long learner in order to keep up with changing technology and market needs. I am excited to be part of the Udemy community to be able to both learn and teach.
My background is in programming. I have worked for nearly a decade as both an employee and a consultant for many different companies in order to build software systems to solve real world problems. Everyday is a new opportunity to learn more about computers and how they can be applied to make the world a better place.
Software engineering has been a fantastic professional adventure. I hope to share my learnings with the Udemy community.
