What I'm looking for

I'm seeking remote-friendly roles where I can blend tech and teaching—building user-focused products, growing communities, and mentoring teams in supportive, feedback-driven environments.

I am a creative technologist and educator who builds delightful user experiences and fosters engaged online communities through clear communication, humor, and feedback-driven iteration. I co‑founded and engineered a remote-first job board using modern front-end technologies and robust Ruby on Rails back ends, supporting thousands of users while leading operations, marketing, SEO, and community outreach.

I have classroom and remote teaching experience delivering coding education to students aged 5–15, plus research experience developing virtual reality studies and experimental software. I thrive in flexible, remote environments, prioritize accessibility and collaboration, and continuously seek growth through feedback and hands-on problem solving.
