Hi! My name is Eshwar, and I am a professional Software Engineer and Arizona State University Computer Science alumni as well as a 1800 rated chess coach. I’ve spent years in the industry working at high-growth startups, and I’m here to help you bridge the gap between academic theory and professional-grade engineering. Software Engineering/Computer Science: With a 3.6 GPA in Computer Science, 4+ years of industry experience(at two startups and one big company), and a background contributing to open-source projects with over 16,000 stars on GitHub, I have a deep mastery of JavaScript, Python, Java, and core CS curriculum. My tutoring approach focuses on 'The Why' behind the code. I teach my students how to think like Senior Engineers, focusing on industry-standard practices, clean code architecture, and scalable logic. Chess: I am also a chess coach, who is ranked 1800 rapid on Chess.com(top 3 percent of players on the platform). I love teaching chess to adults, kids, new players, and intermediates. Every session with me is one-on-one and tailored to your specific goals, When I first started playing chess in 2021, I had absolutely no experience and was rated around 400. Through consistent practice and studying tactics, strategy, and opening principles, I improved my rating to around 1800 rapid within about eight months.
