I am currently employed at North Island College as an instructor in computer information systems. Previously, I worked at Langara College where I split my time between working as an educational technology advisor and also as a computer science instructor. I have a keen interest in applying web technology to post-secondary education. Prior to working in post-secondary education, I spent a lot of time as a software developer for geomatics companies like MDA and PCI Geomatics.
