Ildar Akhmetov

Educator • Builder • Leader

I teach, code, and lead. For over 20 years, I've been working where education meets technology—building programs, managing teams, and launching products.

Based in Vancouver, I'm the Director of Computing Programs at Northeastern University and the maker behind MyNextProject.dev. When not at a keyboard, I'm usually out for a long run.
