How I Build

Teacher Expertise Meets Modern Development

Every tool starts with a real classroom problem. I prototype quickly, test with real educators, and iterate based on feedback , not assumptions. The stack is modern, but the priorities are grounded: does it actually save a teacher time? If not, it doesn't ship.

If you're a school, district, or EdTech company looking for someone who can bridge the gap between pedagogy and production code, these tools are my proof of concept.
