Meet the Instructor
Hi, I’m Sean (dad of 5 kiddos).
I will be hosting the Hacking the Planet coding courses in the LCS Technology Center to introduce basic computer theory and share insights from the IT field that I’ve learned throughout my career with over 20 years of experience.
I've worked in big tech, healthcare, higher education, finance, and government. I also hold a master’s degree in Information Technology Management from Florida State University. My goal is to inspire the next generation to delve into the realm of technology and prepare them for the future landscape that is rapidly evolving especially with the dawn of artificial intelligence and machine learning.
Keep hacking!
