Teaching & Learning Design
Course design, experiential education, analytics instruction, mentoring, and assessment built around application.
Saint Louis University · Chaifetz School of Business
I teach.
I build.
I lead.
I work at the intersection of education, artificial intelligence, leadership, analytics, technology, and human-centered innovation.
In short
I teach statistics, analytics, and machine learning at the Richard A. Chaifetz School of Business, where I also direct the One-Year MBA Practicum Projects. Before that I spent seventeen years in technology — delivery, quality, and program leadership at Cognizant, Infosys, and TCS, including a $7M portfolio and organizations of 150+ professionals.
The classroom turned out to be full of problems worth solving. So I build things: oral assessment tools, anonymous question channels, analytics games, AI tutors. Each one starts as a teaching problem, becomes an experiment, and feeds back into research on how AI is changing what learning and assessment can be.

What I do
Six capabilities that keep reinforcing each other
Program leadership shapes how I run experiential courses. Statistics shapes how I think. Teaching surfaces the problems. Technology lets me build the response.
AI & Educational Innovation
Generative AI in the classroom, AI-assisted assessment, and learning applications tested with real students.
Analytics & Decision-Making
Statistics, machine learning, and quantitative reasoning applied to business decisions rather than exam questions.
Product & Prototype Development
Turning classroom problems into working applications — designed, built, piloted, and revised.
Program & Project Leadership
Large delivery programs, distributed teams, client governance, risk, and execution across industry and academia.
Innovation & Problem Solving
Finding the real problem, designing an experiment around it, and iterating until something works.
Inventions
Things I built because a class needed them
Practical experiments emerging from problems in teaching, learning, and assessment.

My work on AI and pedagogy organizes around three connected problems.
