Owen Mathews
Toolmaker • Designer • Educator • Coder
I'm a strategic content development leader, passionate educator, and app developer with a proven ability to work cross-functionally in highly matrixed organizations. I've built curricula and taught computer science, coding, and app development for learners from grade school to post-college.
I love using technology to build beautiful tools that unleash people's creativity. I am a lifelong learner, driven by curiosity, and I take joy in inspiring others to be curious and in guiding their learning journeys.
I have worked at Apple, Turner, Big Nerd Ranch, and The Lovett School, and I served as a Peace Corps Volunteer from 2000-2002. Check out my CV or view a more detailed project portfolio.
