Professional Summary

I build the systems schools usually buy. Over two years at an IB World School in Chennai I designed and shipped custom web applications for curriculum analytics, student health check-ins, and automated trip and service-learning placement, while coaching 100+ faculty through AI integration, UDL, and digital pedagogy. More than twenty of my tools were requested by colleagues and adopted by name in daily departmental workflows. I pair classroom credibility (MYP Mathematics Teacher) with software engineering (Google Apps Script, Firebase, React) and a coach's instinct for what faculty will actually adopt. The test I hold my work to is simple: does it keep running after I leave the room? At AISC, it does.
