A human-first AI developer working in education.

I build EdTech that starts from what learners and educators actually need. I came to it through tutoring tables and peer mentoring rather than a classroom of my own — and I treat the ethical and philosophical questions about technology and intelligence as part of the engineering, not a footnote to it.

ON MY DESK RIGHT NOW

02Thinking through the parameters of Interleaf's new algorithm, making sure none of them rest on assumptions that are false.
