HTML 95%Tech Pangolin LLC was founded in 2023 as a way to relocate our previous business (T&T Development) to Omaha. We've been in business since 2019. My name is Terra and I have been a software engineer/web developer since 2008. I have also been an instructor and curriculum writer for 5 years. I graduated from the University of Missouri-Columbia with a BA in Computer Science and the University of Denver with a Masters in Information Technology. When not teaching, I enjoy working on personal application development projects and working as a freelance app and web developer. I love helping others and sharing my passion for application development.
My husband and business partner Travis is an ASE certified master automotive technician as well as an instructor teaching automotive technician courses to high school students and adults. He is also a skilled artist and graphic designer able to create digital art.

STUDENTS GRADUATEDHere are some of the places and companies that I've had the pleasure of teaching for.
Terra is an amazing teacher. She has a wonderful way of explaining new concepts and helping you to understand and work through them. She is also a warm caring and patient soul, who is always available to help when you're feeling stuck or blocked. If you have an opportunity to learn from her cherish it, as it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Terra is very inspiring and is always calm while presenting her lectures. When a technical glitch arises, she is always able to debug on the fly. Terra's real-life examples make the complex concepts of software engineering easy to understand. Terra is very relatable as her personal stories encouraged me to keep learning to become a software engineer.Terra is very inspiring and is always calm while presenting her lectures.

I had the pleasure of working with Terra as my mentor for a month, and my skillset grew in ways I had not expected. Not only is she approachable and informed, but she has been shaped by unique experiences that allow her to relate-to and identify-with her students. She has the ability to balance her interactions with technicians of a range of skill levels, simultaneously, which in my opinion is a rare, yet valuable skill. I have no doubts that she will be an asset to any team wise enough to seek her for membership.

I cannot echo strongly enough all the comments made here by Terra's former students. I also had the pleasure of having her as my instructor at Thinkful for the first month of our program. She is an approachable, dynamic teacher with a true gift for explaining complex topics simply and encouraging her students. Her passion for software development (as well as teaching) is as evident as it is infectious. I cannot echo strongly enough all the comments made here by Terra's former students.

Terra was my instructor at Thinkful and did an amazing job being likeable and relatable to the students, while also being professional and informative. She was always ready to answer questions and if she didn't quite know the answer, she would be sure to find out. She even helped develop her own attendance taking software for our class, which is amazing. She was definitely my favorite instructor.

Terra’s care for her students and mastery of software development concepts are apparent in her teaching style and demeanor. Terra is very welcoming, encouraging, and makes technical topics digestible with relatable analogies.
Terra was my instructor at Thinkful. She taught me everything about web development. She picked up our
questions very quickly, understood what we were trying to ask, and used her broad knowledge to answer
them. I’m grateful for her encouragement, her patience, her positive attitude, and her ability in
believing in her students.
I strongly believe Terra will succeed in whatever she
chooses to do. She would be an asset to any employer and I can recommend her without reservation.
Terra is an outstanding instructor, mentor and friend. She was my instructor at Thinkful and she
helped me reach my full potential. Her ability to explain complex topics simply and clearly makes
learning feel easy, and her passion for programming and her students inspires the best in those she
teaches.
As student of Terra's, you are not just another cog in the wheel. She
makes a concerted effort to get to know each student personally, tailors the learning experience to
your individual needs, and makes the entire process enjoyable as well.Terra is an outstanding instructor, mentor and friend. She was my

In her time at Temenos Terra dug in and learned to be super productive in a challenging environment. She stepped up and figured out where she could add value despite these issues. Her ability to work with others and help the team move forward is inspiring to all. I'm hopeful that I will be able to work with her again in the future.
Here are some of the articles written about my teaching over the years
