About

Hey everyone 👋 I'm retired now, but I spent my career doing full-stack web development. This started as a personal project to scratch my own itch — I wanted to learn about all sorts of random topics but got tired of generic courses that don't check whether I actually understood anything. So I built a tutor that makes you explain concepts in your own words and grades for real comprehension. Happy to answer any questions about how it works!
