What I'm doing now.

I'm in my first full year teaching CS and Interdisciplinary Technologies at Edgewood High School. Right now I'm deep in curriculum design — figuring out how to make computing feel relevant and connected to students who didn't necessarily sign up for a traditional CS course.

A big focus this semester is project-based work that crosses subject lines: field data collection, environmental sensors, and getting students to build things that matter outside of a classroom context.

I'm actively working on research exploring how epistemic approaches and research methodologies translate across academic disciplines — specifically comparing how environmental science and computer science each construct knowledge and define rigor.

This work will be presented at the Illinois State University Research Symposium in April 2026. It's the first time I've formally presented research and I'm genuinely excited about the conversation it might open up.

PEDAL (Portable Environmental Data Analyzer & Logger) is my main hardware project right now — a sensor kit designed to be a hands-on classroom tool connecting electronics, Python, and environmental field science. Williams Student Success Award grantee for 2025.

I'm also maintaining Croix.Online, the student application and payment platform I built for Edgewood.

Still heavily involved in collegiate esports production — broadcast, graphics, and operations. I've been working on the 2026 MVC Championship broadcast, handling broadcast graphics and production coordination.

Competitively, I'm a 13× national champion across multiple titles. Most of that history lives on my Liquipedia page.

Mostly academic papers at the moment — epistemology, science education, and curriculum theory. On the lighter side: whatever is on my shelf that I keep meaning to get to.
