I started off working as a software engineer and technical leader across multiple startups. I then spent 5+ years in tech education.

Over the last half decade I have had the opportunity to work in the non-profit space and build alternative education systems from the ground up. The measure of success was employment - 95%+ of the students got good jobs, kept them, and got promoted. Getting this right meant understanding the hiring landscape.

I since founded Prelude.tech. Here I distill everything I have learned about teaching well. Prelude primarily focuses on advanced Python applications and critical soft-skills.
