"I'm a software engineer and data engineering professional with hands-on experience building production ETL pipelines and data infrastructure at companies like Capital One. I've worked extensively with Apache Airflow, Python, SQL, and custom data pipeline development, both as an individual contributor and as a tech lead managing complex data systems. I know what it takes to go from learning concepts to actually shipping code that works in real production environments.

My teaching approach is straightforward: I focus on practical, real-world applications rather than just theory. Whether you're struggling with Python fundamentals, trying to understand how data pipelines fit together, navigating SQL queries, or preparing for technical interviews, I break down complex topics into clear, actionable steps. I've debugged enough broken pipelines and refactored enough messy code to know where beginners typically get stuck, and I can help you avoid those pitfalls.

I work best with students who want direct, honest feedback and practical guidance. If you're looking for someone who will help you build actual problem-solving skills—not just memorize syntax—and who understands what employers actually look for in data engineering candidates, let's work together." less...
