Instructor Bio

Having worked as abusiness analyst in both a major consultancy and an investment bank, I always found myself confrontedwith bothvarious and complex problem sets and challenging client demands. The rapid development oftechnologyand business requirements forces everyone toconstantlyadapt and to continue learning.

Being an early adopter of new and quickly evolvingtools, I always enjoyed both learning these tools andpassing on my knowledge to my colleagues and fellow students.
Since working as a business analystimplies a high affinity to programming, I also enjoyworking as a web developer. It's that combination of self-taught knowledgeand its application in a highly competitive consulting environment for various clientswhich gave me the ability toevaluate solutionsfrom an industry perspective as well asfrom a learner's perspective. The latter also allows me toidentify thepain points students might hit when learning these tools.
Since I always found it hard to find high quality, understandable and comprehensive learning materials,I decided to createsuch materials on my own. Together with Maximilian Schwarzmller I founded Academind to offer the best possible learning experience on web development and data science to our more than 600,000 students.
