I founded CBTech NZ Charitable Trust to bridge the digital divide and build inclusive solutions that truly benefit our communities.Our flagship project is a free, accessible application designed to improve school-home communication for the 166,000 NZ students currently lacking Teacher Aide funding. Powered by generative AI and a universal UI, we empower students, families, and educators regardless of age or technical ability.My vision extends beyond the classroom. I'm committed to building inclusive technology that combats isolation, providing safe spaces for connection and support within our communities.
