“Hey there! I’m Ali, a Full Stack Developer and Teaching Fellow with a flair for turning code into magic. With 2 years of hands-on experience in React, ExpressJs, and MongoDB, I enjoy crafting dynamic applications and solving complex problems. My mission is to make learning fun and interactive, encouraging students to immerse themselves deep into projects and think critically. When I’m not coding, you’ll find me gaming, which not only keeps me entertained but also sharpens my tech skills and fuels my love for innovation. Let’s build something amazing together!”

With 2 years of experience under my belt and a certificate in software development, I’m all about creating a classroom vibe that’s interactive and student-centered. My mission? To spark curiosity and bring real-world scenarios into the mix, making learning not just meaningful but a whole lot of fun. Additionally, I’m the brain behind the Ezy Money app, so I bring plenty of practical experience to the table. When I’m not teaching, you’ll probably find me behind a camera lens or deep into code—my two other great loves!

My teaching philosophy? It’s all about hands-on learning and creative problem-solving—I love helping students to tackle real-world challenges head-on. When I’m not coding or teaching, you can find me buried in a good book or hitting the field for some sports action!
