Work in Progress

Professional Profile

An evolving overview of my teaching, research projects, and professional experience across engineering and education technology.

A minimalist, modern study table in a small academic office, featuring an open laptop connected to a secondary monitor that shows a colorful learning analytics visualization beside a text document of research notes. Around the screens are printed survey instruments, a neat stack of academic journals with sticky tabs, and a digital stylus resting on a slim tablet. Warm, diffused afternoon light enters through frosted glass, creating soft highlights on the matte surfaces and subtle reflections on the screens. Photographic realism from a slightly elevated angle with balanced composition, sharp focus throughout to capture each research artifact. The atmosphere feels focused, methodical, and scholarly, emphasizing ongoing education technology research without any corporate branding or people.
A close-up, photographic view of an open notebook filled with carefully written research questions about online learning, placed beside a sleek tablet showing a prototype of an educational app interface. Finely sharpened pencils, colorful highlighters, and adhesive notes with tiny abstract symbols are scattered around, suggesting iterative design and reflection. The notebook rests on a light birch desk with a subtle natural texture. Late afternoon natural light from an unseen window creates soft side lighting, enhancing shadows in the paper’s fibers and gentle reflections on the tablet’s glass. Captured from a top-down, bird’s-eye perspective with a clean, modern aesthetic, the composition is centered and uncluttered, conveying a calm, thoughtful, work-in-progress mood in education technology design and research.

From Engineering to Learning Sciences

My path runs through industrial engineering, statistics, and technology industries into education technology research. Here I map that journey and its questions; visit the Experience page for detailed roles, projects, and ongoing collaborations.

Open to collaborative research conversations, syllabus consultations, and informal advising on integrating data-informed tools into teaching practice.

Voices

Colleague

Thoughtful, rigorous, and unfailingly generous with feedback, they elevate every discussion about learning technologies and continually connect technical detail to meaningful educational practice.

— Aya Nakamura

Doctoral Advisor

Their dissertation work demonstrates rare intellectual range, weaving engineering, statistics, and learning sciences into questions that genuinely matter for classrooms and learners.

— Mateo García

Former Student

Course discussions and research meetings challenged me to think critically about data, equity, and design in educational technology in ways that transformed my practice.
