Hello! My name is Henrik, programming coach and principal engineer. Thank you for visiting my page!

My first job ever was as an undergraduate teaching fellow (UTF) for the programming classes in my department at UMD. I taught fellow classmates how to program in C. I didn’t realize it back then but those programming classes were the most important classes I took for my career.

Since then, I’ve gotten my masters and worked in software research and development for the past 10+ years.

I am looking forward to sharing my experience and teaching what I know with you 🙂
