Akhil Dakur

Akhil has been programming since he was  19 years old, and got into web sites and web application development at  24. After graduating with a Electronics degree from Staffordshire University because of his interest in software development and designing, Akhil has moved to software field as web application designer and architect, database  designer, and user interface designer. 

His experience has ranged across technologies such as HTML5, CSS3,  MVC, JavaScript, jQuery, VueJS, NodeJS, PHP,  Bootstrap, SQL, Hiawatha web server and more. 

He believes strongly that deeply understanding any topic  allows you to properly learn it and, even more importantly in a  real-world environment, quickly overcome problems. 

He also has a deep interest in human nature and  behavior, and how that impacts human-computer interaction. This interest  translated into extending his career into user experience design and  usability research. 

Another link  in the chain is his 8 months of experience in public speaking and  teaching, both in front of small groups and as a one-on-one private  instructor. 

Putting all these  pieces together, he has spent his career listening to a client need,  designing a database and software to meet that need, building it,  testing it, teaching others how to use it, then improving user  experience by watching people actually use it and adjusting accordingly.   

Akhil loves teaching every  aspect of what he does, and even more loves teaching in a way that  imparts understanding, as opposed to just examples intended to be  parroted. He loves that moment when a student 'gets it', and that's what  he wants for you when you take one of his courses. 

He has found that those that learn purely by example, and  not by understanding, end up much more limited than they need to be. 

He firmly believes that anyone can learn anything only if you have real interest or necessity to learn it. Including you. 

"It is my pleasure and privilege to teach you. I hope you'll learn things that you didn't know before and feel confident that you can accomplish your goals.

Thank you!" - Akhil Dakur
