👨‍💻 About Me

Hey, I’m Robbie — the founder of CTRL Speak.

I’ve always lived between two worlds: technology and language. I’m a cybersecurity analyst and backend developer with real industry experience, and I’ve taught English to hundreds of professionals across the globe over the past 5 years.

My journey started when I realized how many talented developers and engineers were being held back — not because of lack of skill, but because they couldn’t express their ideas in English.

So I built CTRL Speak to change that.

With me, you're not just learning from a textbook. You're learning from someone who:

  • Works in tech
  • Knows your daily challenges
  • Speaks your language — literally and professionally

Whether you’re preparing for an interview, joining a global team, or just want to speak more confidently in your job — I’m here to help.

Let’s make your English work as well as your code.
