A researcher-builder working across AI, education, and classrooms.

What fascinates me is how technology and education can bring out the best in each other. That curiosity is the common starting point for my research, my teaching, and the things I build: I read, design, and write an idea into a working tool with my own hands, then put it back into a real classroom to see whether it holds up.

More than any title, I think of myself as someone who keeps moving between the classroom and the tools. What keeps me invested are the parts of education that technology can help with but cannot replace: judgment, care, and the learning that genuinely happens between people.

Outside of work, public-interest work is a thread I have long kept close. For years I have served as a project mentor for public-good competitions, accompanying young teams as they shape projects around social questions like mental health, climate adaptation, and women's issues. In daily life, I love cooking and dancing; both are about rhythm, and both leave room for a little improvisation.
