Hi There!
I'm Siddharth, a first-time aspiring instructor, and make no mistake, your wish is my command!
I come with a Bachelor's in Computer Science and more than 2 years of experience as a Software Developer in McAfee, the Cybersecurity company.
While I have expertise in a few programming languages and frameworks such as C++, Python, Android, Node, etc., my interest typically lies more in how these languages and frameworks are built, the programming paradigms and constructs, optimal data structures, essential design patterns, and best practices to be followed. I also occasionally contribute to the Open-Source community and am active in a couple of developer forums as well.
I believe that I can bring a lot to the table as a Course Instructor for Computer graduates, budding techies, and Software Professionals.
