How to read the figures
Source: my CV record; these figures are self-reported, without an independent verification report linked here.
18+ Years. 18+ years is my reported cumulative experience in the CV record. The dated career record begins with a university systems role in 2006–2008; this headline is not an automated count of uninterrupted service.
540,000+ educators: reported coverage of national human-capital and workforce-planning programs across 49 education districts during my 2021–2024 Ministry of Education role. It describes program scope, not a measured individual outcome for every educator.
1,000,000+ users: platform reach reported in my CV. The available record does not specify the measurement period, counting method or treatment of duplicate users. This figure should not be read as a current active-user count or attributed entirely to one product.
Current systems & research · October 2026
Submission-ready manuscript (not yet peer reviewed): Equal evaluation scores do not certify equivalent AI behaviour, with open source data on Zenodo (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.22974727). I examine action identity, evidence and the distinction between observed and necessary change.
iSCARB integrates IMAM as an optional contextualization layer. Current implementation spans nine software-engineering chapters, with story-led lectures from Chapter 12, executable labs and an open preprint.
