About the store

Experience

13 years teaching high school Computer Science and CTE in Texas. I currently teach AP Computer Science A (Java), AP Computer Science Principles, and Principles of IT. I serve 100–150 students per year across all experience levels, from first-time coders to students preparing for the AP exam.

Teaching style

I teach like a senior engineer mentoring junior devs. Students build real things — not toy examples. I write custom tools for my classroom (including an in-house web IDE and automated grading pipelines), and I design curriculum around authentic problem-solving rather than worksheets. My AP CSA students write real Java with JUnit tests. My CSP students engage with actual computing systems. I believe students rise to the level of what you put in front of them.

Awards & shining teacher moments

FIRST Robotics State State Championship. Collaborated with University of Helsinki's Java MOOC. Bell Flight Advanced Vertical Robotics (AVR) Competition Finalists.

My own education history

B.S. in Computer Science. Texas teaching certification in Computer Science. I stay current by building production software, self-hosting infrastructure, and working with modern AI/ML tools — not just reading about them.

Additional biographical information

I'm a working software engineer who teaches — not the other way around. I architect and maintain production systems, self-hosted servers, and full-stack applications outside the classroom, and I bring that mindset into everything I create for students. The resources I sell here are the same ones I use with my own students. If it's not something I'd trust in my own classroom, I don't publish it.
