I’m Brian, a software developer and educator living in Boston, Massachusetts. I graduated from Harvard College in 2019 with a degree in computer science and linguistics and from Harvard Graduate School of Education in 2021 with a master’s degree in technology, innovation, and education.

I run Spanning Tree, a video series teaching topics in computer science and mathematics. I’ve taught at Harvard University, where I created courses focusing on artificial intelligence and web programming. I have also been a course head for CS50, Harvard’s introductory course in computer science, and a co-instructor for CS51, Harvard’s course on abstraction and design in computing.

I currently work at Byteboard, developing a more accurate and equitable process for engineering hiring. I’ve worked previously at Automattic, Palantir, and the National Speech and Debate Association.
