Three practices, one purpose

Education

Classroom practice reveals real constraints

Mathematics

Sharpens reasoning and structure

Engineering

Turns insight into tools people use

Practical digital systems for education

Where the work comes together

Classroom practice reveals the real constraints. Mathematics sharpens the reasoning. Engineering turns both into tools people can use. My work connects all three — from teaching practicum at Kakoh Primary School to shipping production platforms for Phnom Penh Teacher Education College.

How I work

01

Understand the classroom

Start with observation, interviews, and real constraints — not technology.

02

Map the information

Design information architecture that matches how teachers and students actually think.

03

Build in Khmer

Develop bilingual interfaces with Khmer as a first-class language, not a translation.

04

Ship and iterate

Deploy, observe usage, and refine based on real feedback from real classrooms.

What guides the work now

Start with the real problem

Understand teachers, learners and institutions before selecting technology.

Build for Cambodian context

Consider Khmer language, local workflows, realistic devices and connectivity.

Make knowledge accessible

Organize information so people can discover, understand and use it.

Design for trust

Treat accessibility, privacy, permissions and clarity as core product requirements.
