Hi! I am Juan Lizarazo, your Udemy Instructor! I've been programming since I was ten years old, and I have been teaching for over a decade. I am a software engineer in Salt Lake City, Utah, focused on web app development, cloud, leadership, team scaling, and distributed applications. I am also a software engineering instructor, teaching computer science topics like data structures and algorithms to students all over the US. I also contribute to open-source, talk at Conferences, answer questions on stack overflow, and sometimes write.
