Software instructor and mentor with a long track record of teaching technical topics to audiences ranging from
beginners to seasoned professionals. I’ve trained thousands of learners on automation, monitoring, and practical
software skills, always focusing on clear explanations, hands‑on practice, and respectful, patient guidance.
I design learning experiences that reflect real environments: imperfect systems, messy constraints, and the need
to troubleshoot under pressure. My goal is not just that people “complete a course,” but that they leave feeling
more confident and capable in their daily work.
Teaching strengths
Clarity and structure: Breaking down complex topics into manageable, logically ordered steps.
Hands‑on learning: Lab‑driven sessions where learners practice, not just watch.
Real‑world framing: Using scenarios that mirror on‑the‑job realities, not contrived examples.
Patience and empathy: Encouraging questions, normalizing confusion, and keeping the pace humane.
Curriculum design: Building multi‑session learning paths with clear outcomes and reinforcement.
Mentoring: Helping individuals and teams grow beyond the classroom via ongoing guidance.
Selected instructional experience
Owner & Lead Instructor – Small Business Training
Taught foundational computing, software usage, and troubleshooting skills to thousands of learners.
Designed and delivered workshops for individuals, small businesses, and teams with diverse backgrounds.
Balanced theory with practical scenarios, focusing on what learners would actually use the next day.
Internal Trainer & Mentor – Enterprise Teams
Created and delivered sessions on monitoring, automation, and architecture basics for internal teams.
Helped newer engineers understand not just “how” to use tools, but “why” the systems behaved as they did.
Supported teams through transitions to new platforms and practices, acting as both instructor and guide.
Topics I teach
Automation basics: PowerShell, scripting mindsets, and safe automation practices.
Monitoring fundamentals: Metrics vs. logs, alerts vs. dashboards, and building useful views.
Architecture literacy: Core concepts so non‑architects can reason about systems more confidently.
Everyday troubleshooting: Structured approaches to diagnosing issues without panicking.
Tool onboarding: Helping teams adopt new platforms with realistic expectations and guidance.
How I add value as an instructor
My value as an instructor comes from combining real‑world experience with a calm, approachable teaching style. I
respect learners’ time and attention, and I design sessions that build confidence instead of overwhelm. I care
deeply about people leaving with skills they can use immediately, not just slides they’ll never revisit.
