About

Einstein once said "Once You Stop Learning, You Start Dying." This fits me perfectly. I love to learn.

I Love to Learn and to Improve Myself and Others

I suffer from ADHD which makes me work 80-100 hours a week so hopefully this will explain any confusion you have about my resume since I do a lot of jobs at the same time. I need to keep myself busy whether it be programming, tutoring, working on books or studying. You will usually see me at my computer between 7-9am EST till 12-2am EST 6 days a week. I try to take Sundays off but I do work a few hours on Sundays as well.

I am currently looking for a job as a

Programmer - This is my preference for full-time work (remote until COVID is under control). Note: I am not a clock watcher - you need me to work overtime - not a problem at all! I am willing to start as a Junior Programmer until I have proven myself.

C/Unix/Oracle Programmer

Python Programmer

Professional Trainer - I hope to do this on the side

AMC 8/10 Math Competitions

Kangaroo Math Competitions

Tutor - I hope to do this on the side

Math tutor

Education Consultant - I hope to continue doing this on the side

I can help you get the best education possible in many countries.

Educational Businessman - I hope to do this as another full time job

I currently have a few projects I want to do but need financing.


On the side I am creating textbooks.

The first one is Python Programming at a Snail's Pace. This book can be used from Middle School through University but be geared for Middle School students.

The second one is C/Unix/Oracle at a Snail's Pace. This book can be used from High School through University but be geared for High School students.

I hope to create many of these textbooks in the future.

The purpose of these books is to provide much more detail than other books so that ANY average student can follow. In most books, topics are presented just like the coarse - to be finished in a day - unfortunately most average students need more time or they can quickly fall behind. These book not only gives much more detail but also a lot of extra example problems to do.
