Hello!

I'm Brian, a software developer and educator.

I run Spanning Tree, a video series teaching topics in computer science and mathematics.

At Harvard University, I've created and taught courses about artificial intelligence and web programming. I've 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've worked previously at Byteboard (acquired by Karat), Automattic, Palantir, and the National Speech and Debate Association.

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.
