About me

About me.

I’m a community-college student from Santa Clarita, California, and the Founder and CTO of MK Ideas.

I am drawn to difficult systems: transfer pathways, learning tools, organizational work, and the choices that make a product trustworthy.

My path is still taking shape. I learn by building, testing ideas against real constraints, and being clear about what a project can prove. My work so far includes education products, civic media tools, and civic follow-through beyond software.

I’m at College of the Canyons with the goal of transferring. That experience makes Waylo personal and keeps my interest in education grounded in the decisions students actually face.

Outside product case studies, I organized a medical-equipment fundraiser in San Julián, El Salvador, and served as Director of Technology & Innovation at West Ranch Law—both collected under Beyond the screen.

I use AI tools to help build and evaluate products. In the case studies, I describe my own role, how AI was used, what exists today, and what still needs validation.
