Background
Founder of Respond Edu, building automation software for schools to reduce the operational burden on teachers. After years of research and working directly with school founders and hundreds of educators, the focus is clear: teachers are leaving the profession in record numbers, overwhelmed by administrative work that has nothing to do with teaching. Respond Edu exists to change that.
Founded TechMe There, a technology integration firm specializing in custom infrastructure builds and datacenter operations.
