About
I'm a university instructor and coordinator in Management Information Systems, and a senior developer. My work sits where business and technology meet: understanding how an organization runs, then designing the database and the application that support it.
Over the years I've developed complete systems for retail, automotive, equipment servicing and subscription-based businesses, and I bring that practical experience into the classroom.

Python Foundations for Business
Basic concepts with worked examples for Management Information Systems students
Most programming books teach with abstract puzzles. This one teaches Python the way business students already think: through invoices, inventories, customers and reports. It starts from zero, with no prior programming experience needed, and builds step by step to analysing real business data and writing a complete application.
Every chapter follows the same clear rhythm: learning objectives, the idea explained in plain language, a short code example with its output, a business scenario that puts it to work, a summary, and exercises that range from quick checks to small projects.
What you'll learn
- The core language: variables, text, input and output, decisions and loops
- Organizing real information with lists, dictionaries, functions and modules
- Professional practice: working with files, handling errors, object-oriented basics
- Data analysis with pandas and business charts with Matplotlib
- A capstone project that builds a complete inventory and sales manager
- A glossary, a quick-reference guide and answers to selected exercises
Ideal for MIS and business students, instructors looking for a course text, and professionals who want to automate everyday business work. The free cheat sheet and script booklet below are companions to this book.

The Sustainable Weight
A realistic guide to losing weight and keeping it off
Most diets fail not because people lack willpower, but because the diets were never built to last. Written for people living with obesity, this book replaces restriction and guilt with a framework you can actually live inside, grounded in how obesity, metabolism and habits really work. There are no rigid meal plans and no promises of a number by a date: just an honest, practical approach you can adapt to your own life and pace.
Inside the book
- Why obesity is a medical condition, not a moral failing, and what that changes
- A flexible plate template instead of a rigid meal plan
- Movement, sleep and stress: the levers most plans overlook
- How to build habits that survive a bad week, and get through plateaus and setbacks
- When medication or surgery belong in the conversation with your doctor
- Keeping the weight off for good, plus worksheets, an FAQ and a one-page cheat sheet
This book is for education and support. It is not medical advice and doesn't replace guidance from a doctor or registered dietitian.
