A bit about Quintin...

Quintin is a San Francisco bay area native that has spent his career building marketplace tech in e-commerce. He got involved with mentorship through volunteering with numerous organizations to teach aspiring high school software engineers how to build the web/mobile applications they use everyday, so their first experience with programming is practical compared to the intro to Python or Java programming courses offered at their schools. On his free time you'll find Quintin playing music, cooking, biking with his dog, and looking for good eats.

Tell us about a mentor or teacher who changed your life?

Mr. Bissell my high school AP physics teacher. He made learning what could have been a grueling topic fun and challenging. He inspired us to question whether what we learned actually comprehensively explained the mechanics of the physical world around us. Of course it was a never ending journey of learning to understand every intricacy of physics.

It impressed on me the lesson that the most impactful learning came from tying it to real world examples in my own life and that we can consciously choose to have fun along the way!

Which of the Curious Cardinal values are you most passionate about?

Lifelong learning. Whether it's broadening horizons by learning something completely new or deepening understanding in an existing passion, a lifelong learning mindset is at the heart of continuous improvement and innovation.
