About me

The story so far

Hi there! I’m Andre Specht, a passionate developer and instructor based in Winnipeg, Canada. With over 20 years of experience, I’ve spent the last five years empowering domestic and international students to design and create impactful things with a computer.

As a full-time instructor at the Manitoba Institute of Trades and Technology (MITT), I guide students through web development and programming, helping them build the skills needed to navigate an ever-evolving tech landscape.

Beyond teaching, I’ve worked on a wide range of projects, from personal sites to complex applications. These real-world experiences have sharpened my problem-solving skills and helped me refine the best practices that I now share with my students.
