The Hybrid Advantage

I bridge the gap between engineering, design, and educational UX—a perspective shaped by years of teaching computer science and visual design.

The same principles that earned me a Microsoft Innovative Educator Expert designation and a Top Hat Award for Inspiring Innovation now drive how I build digital products: intuitive, accessible, and designed with the user's learning curve in mind.
