I am a faculty member at the School of Information Technology, Carleton University, in Ottawa, Canada. Following, you can find some information about what I do professionally:

My Carleton University Page and Research Group, with the description of my research projects, publications, and other academic activities

An Education and Technology Blog where I frequently share my thoughts

Anyone Can Code, my book series on computer programming
