About Me: I am a young entrepreneur and a product of project-based education from High Tech High School in San Diego, CA and the Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering in Needham, MA.

Currently, I am the co-founder and CEO of a free online education software company called Alight Learning.

Alight Learning (www.alightlearning.com) reengages students, advances personalized learning, promotes self-directed learning and discovery, and improves communication by providing a free and secure online learning environment for primary and secondary school teachers, parents, and students. Users synchronously work on collaborative goal-driven activities, share community-ranked resources, provide authentic assessment, and automatically build holistic portfolios of student work. Alight Learning is the catalyst for promoting change in modern educational pedagogies and bringing valuable technology into schools.

Sounds interesting. I will check it out. By the way if you are looking for a test bed for your software platform please keep me in mind. We are a small district located in Washington State but pride ourselves on being on or approaching the cutting edge of technology. I would love to learn more about your project and help test and/or with development/ideas.
