Revolutionizing Education
Since 2017 I've been on a campaign to get quality, honest-to-goodness industry-standard technology knowledge and processes into public and private schooling. What has resulted is that I've gotten to visit and teach thousands of students across many institutions in Las Vegas, in some of the most exciting topics one can conceive of.
