EdTech specialist and software engineer. Learning Technology Specialist at Trinity Western University, where I keep institutional Moodle quiet and ship plugins back to the community. Previously software engineer and team lead of five at a Hong Kong startup.
Case Studies
To improve platform reliability and teaching continuity at scale.
Managing Moodle and WordPress multisite ecosystems for Trinity Western University, including plugin R&D, gradebook integrations, Turnitin workflows, and support patterns that keep course delivery reliable.
View Case Study →To raise delivery quality while shipping MVPs in fast cycles.
Led a team of five engineers at a Hong Kong technology startup, shipping web and mobile MVPs with a TypeScript-first stack while improving delivery quality and technical communication.
View Case Study →To make durable thinking easier — in public, in plugins, and in writing.
Early work in personal knowledge management: open-source Obsidian plugins, a public wiki at yomaru.dev with tens of thousands of monthly views, and ongoing reflection on learning as AI makes raw knowledge cheap and abundant.
View Case Study →Paideia LMS — a modern Moodle / Canvas alternative in a single binary.
Founded and built Paideia LMS — a next-generation, single-binary LMS focused on simplicity. Built with Bun, React Router v7, and TypeScript. Live demo and open docs; currently paused while seeking funding and contributors.

Content & Presence
A public classroom and build log where I share practical lessons on software architecture, learning technology systems, and implementation details that help teams ship with confidence.
Notes, experiments, and technical deep-dives published on personal channels, including plugin ideas, systems observations, and implementation trade-offs from real environments.
A curated set of active projects, references, and social profiles for collaborators, hiring teams, and peers looking for practical EdTech engineering perspectives.
About
I am a software engineer and content creator focused on learning technology. At TWU I work as a Learning Technology Specialist and Moodle administrator; before that I was a software engineer and team lead at a Hong Kong startup.
Most of what I know is self-taught. I care about making learning easier to start and sustain—clear resources, workflows that fit real courses, and platforms that stay reliable once courses are well underway. My work bridges those teaching goals with system reality: LMS and CMS stacks, integrations, AI where it earns its place, and documentation that teams can trust for a full term.
I am a husband and a serious music fan. I'm a Christian and spend Sundays with my church community in Vancouver. Outside work I publish technical writing, follow learning technology closely, and keep studying Japanese.
