Teacher by day. Toolsmith by night.
I teach middle school scholars in Mesa, Arizona, and I build the tools I wish teaching already had. One goal across all of it: teacher clarity. Plus one project that is pure 1994 joy.

Live classroom awareness that answers to the teacher, nobody else.

Sanctuary, one of the first Wheel of Time MUDs, rebuilt from a thirty year old memory. Connect, adventurer.
Now.
This summer: building Pushr's curated corpus so it walks into a real classroom in August, and working through Anthropic Academy along the way.
The long game: a teaching model where every teacher is supported to teach at a high level. Pen, paper, and human teaching at the center. The tools carry the pile.
Say hello.
Teachers, builders, and old MUD hands especially welcome.
