Ecosystem
Full stack developer with extensive ESL teaching experience. I build the language learning tools I wish I'd had in the classroom. I use AI to accelerate development, which lets me ship apps fast and focus on making things that actually help students learn. Two apps live in production right now, with more launching in 2025.
Interactive EdTech apps and websites. Some share a database so mistakes in one app personalise practice in another. Others need no login at all—like english-exercises.org. Voice-based tools, AI tutors, apps for students and teachers. Deployed on Railway, Vercel and Neon.
Claude Code power user. I keep up with the latest agentic best practices—skills development, subagent deployment, quality control workflows. I design the systems, plan the architecture, and direct the AI to implement it. This lets me ship like a team while staying a one-man operation with low costs.
Good EdTech starts with understanding how people actually learn. I combine research-backed insights with years of classroom teaching experience, then implement them as interactive tools. Not just digitised textbooks—genuinely useful practice that adapts to what students need.
Scaling Firstly Academy while launching Teacher's Scribe, a B2B platform for ESL teachers to auto-transcribe lessons and generate student summaries. The ecosystem vision: students feel like "the apps know them" because mistakes in one app inform personalized practice in all others.
Six interconnected applications sharing one database, enabling cross-app intelligence and personalized learning experiences. From exam preparation to conversational practice, each app serves a unique purpose while contributing to the whole.
Neon PostgreSQL
Clerk JWT authentication across all apps — students log in once and access the entire ecosystem.
Mistakes from any app inform AI tutoring in others. Teachers see unified student progress.
B2C SaaS for students, B2B plans for teachers, premium direct teaching — all in one database.
Each application serves a unique learning need while contributing to the interconnected ecosystem.
