Luis Carlos Moreno

¡Hola, hola! I'm Luis Carlos, a Venezuelan-born systems engineer who became an educator. It runs in the family: my grandmother founded two schools in Valle de la Pascua, the small town where I grew up, and I am the third generation to make teaching my work. I left for Texas at 15 to learn English, and have since lived and worked across 6 countries on three continents.

At the American International School Chennai, an IB World School of 700+ students, I was the Learning Innovation & Technology Coach and AI Initiatives Coordinator. I co-led the school's Apple Distinguished School certification, co-created its framework for ethical AI use, and coached 100+ faculty. I started my career in the classroom teaching MYP Mathematics, and that path is exactly the point: I work at the intersection of coaching and engineering, translating what teachers actually need into tools they actually adopt.

Here's the test I hold my own work to: does it keep running after I leave the room? The curriculum dashboard I built is how 50+ AISC leaders see their program, and in May 2026, the school's director sent the curriculum infrastructure behind it to 26 incoming teachers as the very first onboarding resource they received, before they'd even arrived in Chennai. The trip-assignment engine shipped with a 50-page operations manual so the program runs identically without me. That's what I mean by making institutional knowledge stick: not tools, infrastructure.

As of July 2026 I'm bringing that playbook to Shanghai American School (SAS Puxi, Middle School) as Instructional Technology Coach. Same belief, new campus: technology serves people, not the other way around. And one more thing every move has taught me: leaving your comfort zone gets easier the more you do it.
