Hi, I'm Patrick Summers
I'm a Senior Software Engineer based in the Dallas-Fort Worth area with a focus on enterprise software, cloud architecture, and AI systems. I started Summers Dev to share practical programming knowledge with students and professionals looking to build real skills.

💬 My Approach to Teaching
I believe in teaching through doing. Reading about code is different from writing it, debugging it, and understanding why it works (or doesn't). In our sessions, you'll write real code, work through problems, and build practical skills you can apply immediately.
I've worked with large-scale enterprise systems and understand what companies are looking for in developers. Whether you're a student preparing for AP Computer Science, a professional looking to transition into tech, or an engineer wanting to understand AI infrastructure, I focus on the skills and knowledge that actually matter in the real world.
