Why me?

Matlab Expo 2016 keynote presentation
Matlab Expo 2016 keynote presentation

During the past 20 years, I have trained thousands of students in computer programming and software development. My training courses are highly appreciated, as can be seen by the testimonial reviews below.

My training courses include advanced Matlab topics that are not available anywhere else. In other topics, I provide an unparalleled level of detail and insight. As one client testified below, “Yair’s training is very recommended and after it, you feel like a new world of Matlab techniques is revealed to you“.

In addition to the training classes, I would be happy to work onsite with your team, at your location, on your coding project(s), providing advise and helping with the development.

To complement my training services, I also offer consulting and software development on a contract basis, either remotely or on-site at your location (or in combination).

I am a fellow engineer, like yourself. I’ve been there, done that, and have already been burned plenty of times. I have delivered actual working software, completing numerous cycles of the software life-cycle: definition, design, development, integration, deployment, QA, training, and maintenance. My training classes are not purely-academic in nature, but emphasize real-life software development tradeoffs and engineering considerations. You can now benefit from all this experience at the convenience of your meeting room.

As evidenced by my popular and highly-rated utilities on the Matlab File Exchange, the code I create is very well-documented, fault-tolerant, scalable, backward-compatible (with other platforms and/or releases) and performant. I am the most highly-rated and downloaded contributor on Matlab’s File Exchange in the past decade. I will teach you how to write similarly useful and high-quality Matlab code.

I have provided professional Matlab courses to multiple organizations, some of which are listed below. I was also invited by MathWorks to speak at several Matlab conferences. A video recording of my keynote presentation at the Matlab Expo 2016 can be seen on the right.

Testimonials

“I want to thank you again for the course here! It was very inspiring to me and I learned some really interesting things. To be honest, I wish I would have holidays now to try out a few things you mentioned. The people really liked it, regarding different aspects (Content, Trainer and Documentation)!”
Markus Daehler, ABB (Switzerland)
“Yair knows to share his enormous Matlab knowledge in a very efficient and flexible way. The training was structured very well and contained a good and detailed introduction in object oriented Matlab programming. At the same time it contained a huge amount of new ideas and new knowledge for experienced object oriented Matlab programmers. Additionally we got hundreds of ideas to improve the performance, robustness and GUI programming. After two days of training and few days of work we improved the GUI and the performance of parts of our software dramatically. And there are many ideas of improvement left. Yair is extremely fast in understanding our needs and additionally he is a very nice guy. His collaboration in specifying the software he will write for us and his training were a real pleasure for us. Thank you Yair.”
