Issabella Du

Associate Application Developer

Thank you for being our instructor for the past few weeks. We are so grateful for having you teach us and guide us through this training. We were all nervous starting out and we, as new hires, were actually not that familiar with each other either. Unintentionally, you brought us together and we learned a lot from one another because of how well you taught. We weren't afraid to ask questions or mess up, because of the environment you created for us to thrive. We appreciate you and want you to know that you have made an impact on our careers. You've set the bar high for our upcoming instructors. Thank you again, Peter, for everything!

Peter was an absolute delight! He knows the course content very well and teaches/explains it even better. If every instructor I have had in life was like this, I would probably be the most knowledgeable person I know. Adding to that, he was very engaging and kept the class and the different topics interesting. I was curious to learn more every day because of this. Honestly wish we could work with him for the entire duration of our training.

I did not get a chance to say it but I want to thank you very much for the last 7 weeks. I think you are an exceptional educator and you have a talent in making very complex terms into something a 5 year old understands.

Absolutely fantastic teacher. Really delivered core concepts in a intuitive and engaging manner, even some concepts we had covered before from the masters. This was great for filling in knowledge gaps. Very approachable and also provided us with brilliant advice and constructive criticism when preparing for the final project demos this week. Thanks for everything!

Discuss Your Training Needs

My Teaching Approach

Learning technology shouldn't be mystifying. I focus on clarity, practical application, and building confidence through understanding.

The What and Why

I don't just explain what each technology does — I show you why it matters. Real-world context makes concepts stick.

Read more

Immutability isn't just a functional programming concept; it's your defense against bugs in concurrent systems.

Hands-on Learning

Start with confidence-building basics, then progress to complex challenges. Every course includes practical exercises you'll actually use.

Read more

From simple Docker containers to multi-container orchestration. From basic Git commands to real-world merge conflicts.

Plain Language First

Complex ideas explained simply. Technical jargon comes naturally once you understand the fundamentals.

Read more

Microservices = 'independent specialized teams.' REST APIs = 'addresses for your application.' Simple, right?

Interactive Sessions

Learning through discussion, not just lectures. Every session adapts to your team's questions and real-world challenges.

Read more

We explore 'what if' scenarios, debug together, and discuss how new tech solves your actual production problems.

The Big Picture

See how technologies connect. Daily recaps link concepts together so you understand the complete ecosystem.

Read more

How Docker enables Kubernetes. How tests fit into CI/CD pipelines. How AWS services work together.

Personal Support

One-on-one check-ins during exercises. Alternative explanations when needed. Resources matched to your learning style.

Read more

Everyone learns differently. I adapt examples to your background and ensure nobody gets left behind.

Passionate About Technology and Teaching

With over three decades of hands-on experience, I bring enthusiasm and expertise to every class. My goal is to make complex technologies accessible and enjoyable to learn, helping teams build practical skills they can apply immediately.

Track Record

Three decades of delivering successful training outcomes across leading technology companies.
