Hi, I'm Trevor.

Former physics teacher turned fullstack developer and curriculum specialist. I build EdTech software and deliver modern, evidence-based curriculum.

Here's where I shine:

Fullstack Development

From the UI to the database, I'm proficient with MongoDB, Express, Vue, Node.js, and TypeScript. Comfortable across the stack and ready to work with React, Next.js, or whatever framework your team uses.

User-Centered Development

Six years of direct user contact gives me something most developers lack: I know exactly where users get stuck. My aim is to always build to proactively eliminate friction before it becomes a support ticket, not after.

Teaching and Curriculum Development

Seven years of teaching physics and six more of authoring content for Pivot Interactives. I know how to deliver modern, evidence-based content for all levels of physics students.

About Me

Currently:

I'm teaching and designing on-level and AP Physics courses at Dwight Global Online School, and tutoring math and physics students at SimplifyEDU. I'm also actively seeking fullstack roles in edtech where I can bring both engineering and deep subject-matter expertise to the team.

As a member of the Pivot Interactives team with Discovery Education:

August 2020 - April 2026

I built and maintained our customer support infrastructure from the ground up allowing us to maintain 90%+ CSAT, sub-2 minute first response time, and 30 minutes mean-time-to-close for approximately 60,000 support requests over 5 years. My fullstack web development work with the team focuses on E2E testing, improvements to our admin dashboards to boost efficiency in support request resolution, and features to proactively address patterns in support requests.

I also authored 47 activities covering all topics within an introductory physics course and with difficulties appropriate from high school conceptual to calculus-based college courses. View two of them here:

Short Bio

I'm a former high school physics teacher turned fullstack developer and curriculum specialist. My classroom experience and 5+ years building at an edtech company give me a perspective most developers don't have.

Former member of the team at Pivot Interactives, a science education web app owned by Discovery Education.

Currently teaching and designing AP and on-level Physics courses at Dwight Global Online School and tutoring math and physics at SimplifyEDU.

I'm seeking fully remote fullstack roles — ideally with edtech or mission-driven startups.

I'm seeking physics curriculum and teaching positions where I can deliver research-based curriculum in which students develop conceptual and mathematical models of physics principles through a lens evidence-based scientific argumentation.

Avid rock climber. Guitar and piano player. Utterly smitten with my cat, Waffles.
