Teaching and pairing focused on:

  • JavaScript fundamentals and modern language practice
  • React and component UI concepts
  • Full-stack project problem-solving
  • Code review culture and hiring-oriented feedback

A durable habit of teaching by building—and of holding a high bar while helping others grow.
