Experience
Science Teacher & Data Systems Architect · Kairos Academies
- Designed a version-controlled curriculum system for 450+ students, with 63 accessible science simulations (WCAG 2.1 AA) and auto-generated 400+ weekly assessments, replacing manual assessment prep (HTML5, Google Apps Script).
- Built an early-warning system that identifies at-risk students and assigns MTSS interventions, audited for fairness across student groups and validated at ~0.92 AUC (XGBoost/LightGBM, Fairlearn, 4/5ths-rule disparate-impact testing).
- Replaced manual state-compliance reporting with an analytics platform spanning 70+ courses and 427 students, integrating five data sources (Canvas, DeansList, NWEA MAP, exit tickets, and a student-support roster) into one system (30,000+ lines of Python; DuckDB/Parquet, Polars).
- Launched a role-based analytics application serving Early Warning System alerts and 12 dashboard views to board members, administrators, and teachers (FastAPI).
- Engineered automated checks that verify every curriculum and reporting change for accuracy, accessibility, and FERPA compliance before it reaches students (28 GitHub Actions workflows, 350+ tests, 79-rule Node.js validator).
