An explainx instructor bio should explain why your experience is relevant to the task learners will practice. Use accurate details and connect them to the workshop.

## Select relevant evidence

Describe your current work, the kinds of problems you have solved, and examples you can discuss publicly. Explain why you chose this workshop topic. Verify titles, dates, credentials, and any numerical claims before publication.

## Show how you teach

Add a sentence about the learning experience: the exercises, review process, or decisions learners will practice with you. Someone reading the bio should see how your experience will help them complete the work.

## Respect boundaries

Do not imply that a past employer endorses the workshop. Get permission before using client names, logos, or private results. If work is confidential, describe the type of problem and use a fictional teaching example. Ask the explainx team to update the bio when your public role changes.
