Sean McPherson

I work as a software engineer at Khan Academy building AI-powered activities for students and teachers like Khanmigo Writing Coach.

I have previously worked as a software engineer for Niche.com in Pittsburgh and TSYS in Atlanta. And before that I was a teacher at Gwinnett County Public Schools, AmeriCorps, and a juvenile detention center.

I graduated from Edinboro University with a degree in middle-level education and later The Iron Yard Coding Bootcamp.

I live in Pittsburgh, PA with my wife and two sons. I serve as a deacon at my local presbyterian church, and volunteer on the Wilkinsburg Public Library Board of Directors.

I watch, read about, and play soccer; and play board and adventure games.
