Generate pedagogically-sound composition curriculum aligned with WPA Outcomes and transfer-focused writing instruction.
Compares coding agents like Claude Code and Aider on custom YAML-defined codebase tasks using git worktrees, measuring pass rate, cost, time, and consistency.
Designs and optimizes AI agent action spaces, tool definitions, observation formats, error recovery, and context for higher task completion rates.
Designs, implements, and audits WCAG 2.2 AA accessible UIs for Web (ARIA/HTML5), iOS (SwiftUI traits), and Android (Compose semantics). Audits code for compliance gaps.
Generate pedagogically-sound composition curriculum aligned with WPA Outcomes and transfer-focused writing instruction.
Scaffolded Learning: Build complexity gradually—low-stakes → high-stakes, guided → independent.
Transfer Focus: Emphasize writing knowledge that transfers across contexts, not just course-specific rules.
Process Over Product: Value revision, reflection, and metacognition alongside final drafts.
Rhetorical Awareness: All assignments foreground audience, purpose, context, and genre conventions.
