Instructor
Hi there, I'm Jan-Philipp. I am an Engineer from Germany.
ABOUT ME
I am very curious and a fan of lifelong learning, so I self-teach me things which benefits me in my life.
My favorite question is: Why and how did you do that? That's sometimes annoying for my surroundings but I cannot fight my nature. Maybe, that is why I became an Engineer. :-)
Because of my profession, I have learned how to cut big tasks into little actionable steps. I have worked in the aerospace industry and taught people how to build parts of an aircraft engine. Furthermore, I am experienced in designing and optimizing business processes.
In short, I am good at explaining the steps you need to know to achieve the learning goals of my classes.
MY TOPIC: SOFTWARE TEACHING
This is the topic I love to cover in my classes: How to use software and what to do with it.
As you may have guessed, I am interested in many topics. But I realized, that I am good in Software Teaching. I am the go-to-guy, if my friends and colleagues have any software related question.
I scroll through all of the settings in a software when an update is released. It is a little bit nerdy but someone has to do it. Don't you think so? :-)

Have fun learning, it is a lifelong journey!
