Welcome to my personal website, where I bring together all of my interests.
Here you’ll find a blend of tech‑focused creations, educational resources,
and artistic projects.

<div class="project">
<h3>Instant Lesson Lab</h3>
<img src="images/instant_lesson_lab_0.png"
alt="Thumbnail image for a lesson in the Canadian tax system.">
<p>
My partner and I create lessons on real-world topics we wish we’d learned in high school (like practical Canadian Tax skills).
Explore our <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/store/instant-lesson-lab" target="_blank">Teachers Pay Teachers</a> store.

<h3>Frogs & Trees</h3>
<img src="images/frogs_and_trees_0.png"
alt="A purple frog made from the character K̈ on a light green background.">
<p>
A clean version of the classic puzzle game <em>Tents & Trees</em> created by Leon Balmaekers in 1989 that you
can play it in <a href="https://frogs-and-trees.c71qu3.link/" target="_blank">c71qu3.link</a> (my other domain).

<h3><a href="/abbott.html">Monitoring Chip Protrusion & Other Adventures</a></h3>
<img src="images/chip_protrusion_0.jpeg"
alt="A purple frog made from the character K̈ on a light green background.">
<p>
At Abbott, I developed and deployed my first machine learning models, improving
the accuracy and efficiency of assembly line image analysis.
</p>
</div>
<div class="project">
<h3>Tac Swipe</h3>
<img src="images/tac_swipe.jpg"
alt="An orange app icon with a symbol that looks like a mix between the letter A and a crosshair.">
<p>
While at UofT, I was part of the team that built Tac Swipe, an e-commerce platform once described
by our boss in Texas as “Tinder for guns”. I served as project coordinator and test engineer; you can still check out
the app in <a href="https://apkcombo.com/tac-swipe/com.tacswipe.tacswipe/" target="_blank">APKCombo</a>.

<div class="project">
<h3><a href="/lazarillo.html">De cómo moría y resucitaba Lázaro, El Lazarillo</a></h3>
<img src="images/lazarillo_0.jpg" alt="My younger self in a ridiculous costume.">
<p>
A theatre play and project I feel particularly proud of. You can get
an idea of what it was like from this
