Experience

1. Teacher

   Metropolitan Education District

   Mar 2024 — Present · San Jose, CA, US

   Educator with a broad knowledge base armed with a California State Adult Ed Teaching Credential. A leader in classroom and school resources, including technology. I make magic happen with real people! I bring together the latest innovations in computer science and teaching with adult learners. Now working to develop and maintain internal tools and systems that automate existing work and increase productivity for students, teachers and school administrators using AI; collaborate with teams across campus and within educational consortiums to understand pain points and identify high-impact automation or process improvement opportunities; rapidly prototype small AI-enabled utilities or automations and deploy them into production swiftly; supervise the choices AI is making in areas like architecture, libraries or technologies and be ready to debug complex systems across frontend and backend services when AI cannot; act as a high-trust owner of systems that may handle sensitive data or business-critical logic; work cross-functionally to ensure tools are adopted and deliver obvious value; stay updated on the latest models and tools, applying that knowledge in school district classrooms. I produce the best outcomes for each individual, their family and friends, as well as the community and its businesses. I merge knowledge in a wide variety of domains with technological capabilities honed by years in the tech sector here in Silicon Valley. I turn ideas into reality more quickly thanks to a deep understanding of AI tools. I ask the right questions to generate better outcomes for my students, my school, my school district, business and the community. I use the right \"agents\" and communicate effectively to generate the best outcomes.
