I am a Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP). I have a Master's degree in Computer Science (from AUT University, Auckland) which is accompanied by more than 15 years of commercial experience working in several assignments for companies in New Zealand.
Some of the multi-national companies that I have worked as Senior developer are Sungard, Trimble Navigation etc. I have also taught extensively in tertiary institutions in programming languages such as C#, Java, C. My vision statement is Software consultation, mentoring, learning and teaching new technologies.
Every day I do what I love most: Learning new technologies and tools related to software development and translate this knowledge for creating useful and engaging e-learning materials for willing learners. I have been to mentor and train young and intelligent minds with the cutting edge technologies that will enable them to enjoy a great career path and settle in the pursuit of a great profession.
I have extensive teaching experience at tertiary institutes and universities in New Zealnd e.g: CPIT (now Ara Institute Of Canterbury), University of Canterbury, AUT University in programming subjects: C#, Java (Object Oriented) and C.
I am also a member of the .NET foundation, which is a Microsoft organization to support and foster the Microsoft open-source ecosystem.
Finally, here are some of my earlier reviews from courses on Udemy:
"Kaushik's courses are my main reference for anything C# - I find his explanations full of detail which helps to solidify a full understanding of even the most complex aspects of C# programming." - Martin Catherall (Microsoft MVP) - Master Collection Classes in C# Using Visual Studio
"An elaborate and detailed description for a beginner. The author has put a lot of effort into structuring the content. Certainly proved useful to me as a starter." - Sudeep Ghatak (ASP.NET Core 3 with MVC and MongoDB)
"Great material. Learned a lot." - John Taylor (Master Collection Classes in C# Using Visual Studio)
"Well explained in detail." - Fred Handal (Build and Learn ASP.NET Core 3.1 Blazor Hands-On
"It's a nice introduction into Blazor server side where you got a good understanding of Blazor fundamentals" - Seb Lowe (Build and Learn ASP.NET Core 3.1 Blazor Hands-On)
"One of the best Blazor course" - Mohamed Cisse (Build and Learn ASP.NET Core 3.1 Blazor Hands-On)
"If you're like me and were struggling to setup/use Apigee X because the Google docs were lacking the depth to understand the step you were taking and what to do next, this course is for you! Great beginner Apigee X course, I'm really looking forward to the Intermediate/Advanced course to come" - Garrick Brown (Google Cloud Apigee X API Management - Hands-On Training )
