Why software engineering? Why teaching?

One of my passions is to remove barriers and difficulties and make life easier for others. And software is one of the exceptional tools to achieve this. With the right software solutions, you can positively impact so many lives. However, building the right software demands qualified people, and qualified people are only possible with quality education. With years of professional experience, I know the expectations of the software industry. For this reason, I joined the teaching force to share my knowledge and experience to educate and train future software engineers to join me in removing barriers and difficulties and making the lives of others easier.
