I am a digital platform researcher with over ten years of experience on building web/mobile apps. My primary interests are cross-boundary platform-based innovations such as connecting Adult Development and Digital Platforms, connecting Theory and Practice via Knowledge Curation, and connecting Developed Countries and Developing Countries. I also work on creating knowledge frameworks by adopting theories such as Ecological Psychology, Activity Theory, and others. I love designing diagrams and developing new concepts.

participating in user research,

mentoring,

full time roles,

advising companies,

and beta testing new products.
