Previously, I was a visiting faculty member at the Indiana University School of Informatics and Computing where I helped create and support the Informatics Diversity-Enhanced Workforce (iDEW) program, a community partnership focused on increasing the number and diversity of high school students that pursue degrees and careers in technology.

I co-created iDEW's Computing By Design project-based curriculum for high school computer science courses. These projects are taught in numerous high schools across Indiana that primarily serve low-income students and minority students. In 2018, our iDEW team received the TechPoint Mira Award for Tech Educator of the Year.

I have also been a high school science teacher and a science content developer for a K-12 assessment company.

My talented wife, Carrie Wild, is a professional artist, and we live in Indianapolis.
