About Roy
In terms of my background, I've been programming for nearly 20 years now, and am one of the co-founders of CoLab software. I made an exit from that company some time ago, and have since gone on to serve as CTO of Learning Labs, and set up a successful independent consulting practice. If you're interested in entrepreneurship, I'm more than happy to include some relevant advice and lessons I learned in our sessions, and we can even potentially tailor a project for you in that direction if you're interested. As part of my consulting practice I was hired a few years ago by Keyin College to be the co-designer of their new Software Development program. I designed the subject matter for the courses in the program, developed much of the pedagogy which was non-traditional in many ways, and later went on to teach many of the courses myself while serving as the lead for the Software Development department. The program was a great success, thankfully, with the vast majority of graduates being hired shortly after graduation. Through that process I realized that I really like teaching, it's one of the things that I've found most fulfilling in my career - and that's why I'm here. I want to continue to teach and tutor as much as I can on the side, because I love it. I've tried to keep my pricing low because I know most learners don't have a lot of money available, and I want to try to be accessible to as many people as I can. In terms of particular technologies and languages I've used professionally, I've used a lot of them over the years at various jobs and contracts, as well as in my own personal projects. To give particular examples, I commonly use JavaScript, Python, C, C++, and Rust at the moment and have used Java, C#, Lisp (Common Lisp, Clojure, and Scheme), Elixir, x86 assembly (among other dialects), and Ruby extensively in the past. I've also used several other languages as well, including some esoteric languages in various capacities. I commonly use (and in some cases have even taught) technologies and frameworks like React, Flask, Express, Postgres, MongoDB, Docker, Git, and much more in my professional work. I am also extremely familiar with AWS and Azure, having used both of them extensively professionally. I've been lucky to have had the chance to work in a lot of different industries too, I've done embedded systems and electronics work, I've done autonomous robotics and vehicle work, I've done work on novel medical technology, I've done game development, I've done app development, and of course, I've done a lot of web development over the years as well for both frontend and backend. If you have an interest in software security, I've done some work in this domain both professional and personally. If you're interested in ethical hacking, reverse engineering, and common exploits so that you can write more secure software or otherwise do ethical security research, I'm more than happy to share what I know in this domain as well. Finally, if you happen to be interested in brain-computer interfacing, I studied that in grad school, so I'm always happy to share knowledge about that as well if it's relevant to you. Hopefully something here will speak to your interests, and if so, I'd be extremely happy to help you on your learning journey. Good luck either way, and all the best!

My approach to teaching is to meet you where you are, and to tailor my lessons towards your interests. I don't want you to just create generic portfolio projects, I want you to be able to express yourself as you learn, so that you can create meaningful projects along the way that will lead ultimately to you being hired. For students in a structured program, like a university, I went to university myself and studied Computer Engineering, so I'm more than happy to help you reinforce any of your course work, and am willing to adapt to any established curriculum.
In terms of subjects I'm qualified to help with, any courses in computer science and computer engineering are well within my wheelhouse, and I'm familiar with most of the common languages, tools, and technologies, including but not limited to: databases (both relational and non-relation), docker, git, and cloud services on both AWS and Azure. If you need help learning anything in the realm of computer science, computer engineering, or programming, I can probably help you.
My lessons are open to people of all skill levels, pre-undergrad all the way up to grad students. I'm used to teaching students with no programming experience at all, and I'm also used to mentoring professionals, so no matter what your skill level is, I'm sure we can find an approach that works for your particular learning style.
I look forward to learning with you!
