What I do

Games & Simulations

Unity 3D, VR/AR, and mobile — from LNG tanker safety trainers for ExxonMobil to an open-world math game set in 1976 Soweto. I ship playable things, and I have for over a decade.

AI in Education

LLM integration, AI NPCs, RAG systems, and bias mitigation — deployed in real classrooms and evaluated in randomized control trials, not just demos.

Research & Global Policy

Harvard Ed.M., published researcher, and advisor to El Salvador’s Ministry of Education on national AI literacy. I design studies, run them, and turn findings into policy.
