I teach Ruby, Ruby on Rails, MySQL, and Computer Basics to students on UrbanPro. With over 15 years of experience in both teaching and working hands-on with these technologies, my goal is to help learners not only understand the concepts but also become confident in applying them in real-world scenarios. My approach is practical, structured, and tailored to equip students with the skills they need for both academic and professional success.

I hold an M.Tech in Information Technology, which provided me with a strong theoretical foundation in computer science and software development. More importantly, my extensive hands-on experience in Ruby, Rails, MySQL, and related web development tools has shaped my practical understanding of how these technologies are used in real industry settings. This blend of academic knowledge and field experience allows me to bring real-world relevance into the classroom.

Over the years, I’ve worked on numerous real-time projects—from dynamic web applications to robust database systems. These experiences have helped me gain valuable insights into solving complex problems, optimizing performance, and applying best practices in development. I regularly bring these insights into my teaching, helping students understand how their learning applies in actual development environments.

My teaching style follows a balanced mix of theory and practice. I begin with the fundamentals to ensure that students have a solid base before progressing to more advanced topics. Each class is focused on a specific concept or functionality, followed by hands-on practice sessions, coding exercises, and project-based learning. I make sure to include interactive discussions to keep the sessions engaging and to ensure students are actively involved in the learning process.

I teach in both online and offline formats, depending on what works best for the student. Regardless of the mode of delivery, I strive to maintain clarity, pace, and a collaborative environment. I use PowerPoint presentations during my lessons to visualize key ideas, demonstrate workflows, and break down complex processes into manageable steps.

To support students beyond the sessions, I also provide well-organized learning materials, including notes, reference code snippets, and mini-projects that they can practice at their own pace. These resources are designed to reinforce learning and help students gain confidence in working independently.

Teaching has always been a passion for me because it allows me to share what I’ve learned over the years and watch others grow into capable professionals. Whether you're starting with the basics or looking to build robust applications with Ruby on Rails, I’m here to guide you with a clear, practical, and focused learning journey.
