IN CONVERSATION WITH JUSTIN:
What is your favorite technical skill to work with on your own projects and why?
My favorite technical skill would be JavaScript. On the frontend, I enjoy solving UI/UX challenges, and on the backend, I like structuring APIs and managing data flow
What is your favorite technical skill to teach to students and why?
My favorite technical skill to teach is JavaScript—especially when students begin to grasp functions, callbacks, and how data flows through an application
What is most important to you about teaching technical skills at General Assembly?
What’s most important to me about teaching technical skills at General Assembly is helping students build real confidence in their ability to solve problems. It’s not just about writing code—it’s about teaching students how to think like developers, break down complex challenges, and grow from mistakes
What advice do you have for anyone looking to learn technical skills to reach new career goals?
Start where you are, stay consistent, and don’t be afraid to get things wrong. Learning technical skills can feel overwhelming at first, but progress comes with practice. Focus on building small projects, ask questions often, and building a community. Remain curious and keep going at it.
What would you like to highlight about your experience in your technical domain outside of teaching?
Outside of teaching, I’ve worked on full-stack web applications, freelance projects, and even built tools to automate parts of my workflow. I love applying what I teach in real-world settings—whether it’s developing a feature-rich MERN stack app, debugging complex backend logic, or creating interactive UI experiences
