About
I teach English full-time. Outside of that, I build small tools and write practical guides.
Most of my work sits between writing and tech. If something feels confusing, I try to make it clear. If it's slow, I try to make it faster.
What I Do
- Build writing tools like TheReword
- Write tutorials that solve real problems
- Record videos showing how to fix things on a computer
- Work on SEO and content
Projects
TheReword: A simple rewording tool for quick text edits
GitHub: Where I build and test ideas
Experience
English teacher (full-time). Build tools and do digital marketing on the side.
Education
Journalism and mass communication, University of Florida
Learned marketing online: SEMrush, Coursera.
How I Work
I hate software that needs a manual.
Click. Type. Done. That's the bar.
If I can't explain something in two sentences, I don't understand it well enough. So I keep going until I can.
Complicated topics don't scare me. Boring writing does. When I build or write, I ask one question: does this save someone time? Not "in theory." Right now.
Small details matter more than big visions. A slow button. A sentence that says nothing. A tool that asks you to sign up before you've tried it. I fix those first.
No mission statement. No philosophy. Just this: if it's slow, make it faster. If it's confusing, make it clearer. If it takes too long to explain, you built it wrong.
How I Learned to Build
I didn't know how to build anything seven years ago.
Tried WordPress first. Made a dozen sites. Most of them were ugly. A few worked.
Kept going.
Learned TypeScript and Next.js because WordPress started feeling slow. Not slow for visitors. Slow for me. I wanted to move faster.
No CS degree. Just YouTube at 2am and documentation I read three times before it made sense.
TheReword came from that. So did a bunch of broken things you'll never see.
