Hi, I'm Kadeem Best πŸ‘‹

πŸ”§ Software Engineer

πŸ“ Toronto, Canada


πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’» About Me

I am a passionate software engineer with extensive experience in full-stack web development, database management, and teaching. My career spans over a decade, beginning with web development, progressing to database administration, transitioning to academia as a software engineering professor, and eventually becoming a lead instructor at a prominent coding bootcamp in San Francisco, California. However, the "coding gods" have spoken, and I am now coming full circle back to being a full-time engineer.

I enjoy building scalable, testable applications and mentoring the next generation of developers. My diverse background equips me with a unique perspective and a comprehensive skill set that I bring to every project.
