Hampton Paulk

Hampton brings 25+ years of hands-on technology experience to every course he creates. His teaching philosophy is simple: meet learners where they are and make complex topics accessible. Whether breaking down emerging technologies, explaining foundational concepts, or exploring advanced implementations, he draws from decades of real-world experience building, breaking, and fixing systems. His approach combines practical insights with clear explanations, helping professionals at all levels gain the understanding they need to succeed. From his early days with blue boxes and bare-metal programming through industrial automation and modern cloud architectures, Hampton has seen technology evolve—and learned how to explain each wave to the next generation of professionals. What sets his teaching apart is the ability to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. He doesn't just explain how things work; he shares why they work that way, what can go wrong, and how to think about problems systematically. The result: courses that respect both the complexity of technology and the learner's journey toward mastery.
