I’m Rob.
I’ve bounced back and forth between software and education. I care a lot about making education better, especially for people learning to program computers.

The best thing about writing online is getting to talk with people. I really love those conversations, so if you read anything here and want to talk, please cold email or dm me on twitter.
I used to have a substack newsletter, CS Education. I guess I still do, but I used to, too.
My cofounders and I tried starting Kibo, a new university online for young learners in Africa. We couldn’t figure out student financing, so we shut it down in 2024. More reflections here.
Now I’m working on Zo Computer.
