Lead System Engineer,
Vanderbilt University
I’m a full-stack research software engineer with 7+ years in learning technology and multimodal analytics. I’ve led systems for U.S. classroom studies and an OECD trial across hundreds of European schools, and I turn ideas from learning scientists and teachers into working research software, fast.
I’m a full-stack research software engineer with 7+ years of experience building learning technologies and real-time multimodal analytics platforms. I’m a lead system engineer at ICONS (formerly the Institute for Software Integrated Systems) at Vanderbilt University, where I work with the Open-Ended Learning Environments lab and the NSF AI Institute for Engaged Learning.
I created and lead Betty’s Math, an assessment and AI-tutoring platform used in an OECD randomized controlled trial across hundreds of schools in four European countries. I also lead SyncFlow, an open-source platform that has captured 400+ hours of multimodal classroom data in U.S. studies. I like taking ideas from learning scientists, teachers and international partners and turning them into dependable research software.
2025 – present
Creator and lead engineer
A math assessment and AI-tutoring platform embedded in the OECD's PILA and deployed in a randomized controlled trial across hundreds of schools in France, Germany, the Slovak Republic and Latvia. It includes an LLM tutor with learner-model context, LLM translation and knowledge-graph pipelines, xAPI logging and a real-time teacher dashboard.
2023 – present
Creator and lead engineer
An open-source WebRTC platform for real-time multimodal classroom data. It sustains 200 concurrent streams at about 200 ms latency and has archived 400+ hours (more than 10 TB) for 1,000+ researchers and students. It is deployed in classroom studies in Indiana, Tennessee and North Carolina.
2022 – 2023
Co-developer
A distributed streaming framework for real-time multimodal data retrieval and processing, used by 100+ people in Nashville-area classroom studies. I built its orchestration layer, SvelteKit dashboard and pipeline library (video, audio, people tracking, live transcription and video anonymization).
