Arduino/PCB/electronics/mechanical project mentoring

Do you wish you could build things with electronics and mechanical components? Maybe your house needs a web-connected doorbell, or you want to publish your air quality measurements to the web. Or maybe you're already experienced and you have an automatic cat flap opener or motion-triggered foam dart shooter?

Whatever your home electronics/mechatronics project, I can help you get started, improve, or complete it. I have extensive professional experience designing electronic circuits, PCBs, and the software to control them, and I've tutored privately for years as well.

The way I work is to help you solve your most pressing and confusing issues during our class, then give you a short lesson to help you understand better what to do next time, and then leave you with some homework tasks you can do in your own time to progress your project - this saves you money and gives you a better competency result!

I have a 3D printer, a metalworking shop, and all the benchtop tools we might need to develop your projects, as well as some generic arduinos, breadboards, and passive components - all you need to provide is (some of) the specific materials for your project.

Extra information

Project dependent, but your own laptop is a good start.

About Me

Growing up in a family of computer scientists, I decided I wanted to carve my own path - so I studied Electronics Engineering and Physics (in hindsight perhaps not as rebellious as it felt at the time...).

Since then I've gone from designing PCBs and digital circuits to writing firmware to designing and building low-latency trading systems in C++.

I've tutored privately for years and I also love mentoring junior staff at work - they always give me great feedback about how I've helped them grow their understanding and made it fun and engaging along the way.

My special tutoring/mentoring talent is finding the right way to explain a concept to the specific person I'm mentoring, and then giving them just the right amount of space to learn without feeling overwhelmed.

Education

UNSW, Electronics Engineering with Honours 2006
UNSW, Physics with Honours 2006
Extensive private tutoring experience
Professional mentoring in my current workplace

Experience / Qualifications

2 years PCB/microcontroller/firmware/circuit design

Python and C# Lessons for All Ages! All Levels Welcome! Beginners, Intermediates, Professionals!
Do you want to understand technology at a deeper level? Are you interested in how common applications fundamentally operate? Would you like to improve your logical and analytical skills (not to mention endurance and patience)? Learning to code - a phrase that is all too popular nowadays. Still, dealing with programming languages is kind of inevitable in every sector. There is simply no better language than Python to begin with on your exciting coding journey. And there is also no better way of doing that than by having someone personal to ask questions to. This way you not only don't have to waste time and effort on a stupid typo, but you're also less likely to give up. Effort * Encouragement = Success! I am also very fluent in C#, so if you are struggling with that, then you can also contact me. In fact, I am familiar with C++ and C as well, though not as thoroughly as with C#.

C++ Object Oriented Programming -- Learn from the industry professional having practical experience
C++ language is a superset of the ‘C’ language and was initially known as “C with Classes”. In "C" operator ++ is used to increment the value by 1. That means to the language ‘C’, developers have added some extra features (Object Oriented Programming) and hence named as C++. This Object Oriented concept reduces the complexity in programming and it is easier to identify and resolve any error in the program. I'll be starting from the scratch thereby strengthening your concepts and helping you to master this language. I am providing you a brief summary of our course which we generally follow but that doesn't mean that I am bound to just this much content. In case you have any doubt for any other specific topic related to the subject, you could always come up to me or you need any help in your assignments or projects, you are always welcome. Here is a brief summary of our course : • How C++ differs from C • Variables Declaration • Function overloading • Optional Parameters • Reference Variables • Operator overloading • Basics of Console Input and Output • Constant Pointers • Dynamic Memory Allocation • Overview of OOPs Principles • Introduction to classes & objects • Creation & destruction of objects • Data Members • Member Functions • this Pointer • Constructor &Destructor • Static class member • Friend class and functions • Namespace • Types of Inheritance • Down casting and up casting • Function overriding • Virtual functions • Destructor overriding • What is Polymorphism • Pure virtual functions • Virtual Base Class • File Stream • Text File Handling • Binary File Handling • Error handling during file operations • Overloading << and >> operators • Exception Handling • Templates Apart from these , we'll be covering basic concepts of "if - else statement" "for, while and do-while loops" In case you have any query, feel free to contact me Give yourself a chance for a better future All the best

Spring course with Java/Kotlin, Postgresql/MongoDB, REST Api, Spring Security, J2EE Authentication, Angular web app, Ionic 4 mobile apps
Hi. I'm a senior software developer from Iran with over 15 years experience in software development. I'm in a business trip to Netherlands on mid July for a short period of time (almost 60 days) and I decided to conduct programming courses as besides my work mostly to cover some of my expenses though I'm eager to gain new experience working with local young students who are enthusiastic to learn programming skills. To said that, I tried to setup the course fee as low as possible and make it feasible for any interested person to take. I think it will be a great opportunity for both of us to have it. Here is brief bio about me and my working experience: I've been working and teaching programming for long time and the way I deliver contents is totally unique from my perspective because I always leverage my experiences to give my students a real practice on subjects while they get to know the core concepts behind each subject. I've been doing corporate training for about 2 years for 500 fortune IT companies and I perfectly know the standards and methods for teaching. I believe this is the time for everyone who wants to enter to programming era to learn the connected concepts all together in a practical way, therefore I sit down with my student and let him/her to practice along with me all new concepts and assist him/her to get the result as I do. All with practice and real life examples and projects. I also give my students an extra bonus to complete their tasks at home and send me their code for review out of the class without any extra charge. This actually means they extend the training hours event far more than the amount it's mention in course descriptions. At the end, I'm ready to refund the whole money if my student feel not satisfied with my service. I also have a flexible timing schedule which makes my students to book their class at their favorite time. Last but not least, I can customize the course contents based on your age and your backgrounds, so don't worry and contact me for more advise before you take my course. Good luck and hope to hear from you.
