I attended the University of Maryland where I graduated with a bachelor's degree in Computer Science. Since then, I’ve gathered experience in the tech industry, both as a software engineer and people manager. My longest stint was 6 years spent at Amazon, where I had the opportunity to work across both the Amazon retail and AWS businesses.

Over the years I've had the opportunity to mentor many engineers, and learned a lot about the business of building software inside of complex, global environments. One thing that stuck with me were the common knowledge gaps. Absolutely critical daily skills were never taught formally. Either you'd get lucky with patient co-workers willing to spend time teaching you, or you'd parse through hours of content seeking that a-ha moment.

Git is the quintessential example of an under-taught yet heavily-utilized developer skill. LearnGit.io is my attempt to decisively close this knowledge gap.

Cheers,
