I’m Shep Sheperdigian. I taught high school science for 12+ years—mostly physics—in an urban school with a diverse student population. Teaching a “hard subject” to real humans taught me how to break down complexity, build clear storylines, and design systems that help people succeed.
I build small, focused tools that reduce friction: live formative checks, quick content creation, and simple dashboards that make student thinking visible without creating more work. I care about speed, clarity, and shipping useful features.
I want to work with a team building education software that’s grounded in real classroom constraints and learning best practices—tools that help both students and teachers.
