👋 Hi, I’m Ren.

I design, develop, and evaluate digital tools and practices for learning and collaboration among software developers.

I am a PhD student in Human-Computer Interaction with experience building cloud-based tools, data pipelines, and web applications, as well as conducting applied research on accessible and equitable technology. I work at the intersection of data science and AI, software engineering, and human-centered design, with interests in platform usability, workflow automation, and technology that supports learning and collaboration.

I have worked with organizations (Deloitte, Google, and venture capital groups) on technology design, education, and entrepreneurship projects.

📣 Hiring or want to collaborate? I am on the market for tenure-track roles in computing colleges and applied science and engineering roles in industry. Also open to freelance. Reach out if you want to chat!
