What I'm looking for

I’m interested in collaborative software development and innovative approaches to edtech, climate-related data applications, and inclusive technology for education and environmental conservation.

At INNODEMS, I developed statistical dialog interfaces in VB.NET for R-based analysis and connected front-end components to R scripts for dynamic data processing. I also contributed to open-source development, testing, and documentation for R-Instat.

At INNODEMS, I created interactive math textbooks with PreTeXt and designed auto-graded exercises using STACK in Moodle and WebWork. I added visuals, hints, and step-by-step logic to support learner engagement.

My background combines Mathematics, Economics, and IT with software engineering, data analysis, and educational design. I’m growing a portfolio of projects that bring together code, creativity, and community, especially in inclusive education technology and environmental conservation.
