About

I help international schools and educators flourish with AI.

Not by adding more tech tools. By transforming how educators think about learning & teaching—and by giving them a system to keep improving long after the first workshop.

My signature on-ramp is still simple: three 90-minute sessions with me and educators go from AI-anxious to AI-fluent.

But the bigger shift in my work now is this: I'm building EDodo.app to scale what happens after the sessions—because real adoption isn't a moment, it's a practice.

What EDodo.app Stands For

I'm putting out high-quality, highly relevant educator courses for free—hosted inside EDodo.app—so teachers anywhere can build practical AI capability without gatekeeping.

EDodo.app is also becoming a deep resource ecosystem for educators: pedagogy methods, books, tools, templates, and classroom-ready workflows—much of it free.

For educators who want to go deeper, EDodo.app Platinum unlocks:

  • A high-signal community of educators (implementation > hype)

  • Direct Ask Me Anything access to me

  • Exclusive sessions for Platinum members

  • Advanced modules for every course
  • My Track Record

    I run AI transformation programs for international schools and have trained 4,000+ educators across 50+ institutions.

    I've also trained 6,000+ learners at MasaiSchool through intensive programs.

    My core belief: AI isn't a content machine—it's a learning experience designer. There's already infinite content online; the magic is designing the learning journey.

    My Background

    20+ years building software (started coding in 1999). I'm currently a Director at Axelerant, where I help keep 300+ engineers sharp while running ProgressionSchool—our education initiative. Earlier, I was Director of Pedagogy at MasaiSchool.

    In the first week of ChatGPT's release, I built education tools—because I saw early that most people were missing the point.

    If you want your school to thrive with AI (not just survive it)—or you're an educator who wants to build real learning experiences with AI—let's connect.
