Teaching. Living. Breathing

I design, build, and teach immersive tech that empowers people and transforms realities in XR & AI

Meet Prof. Dom

I grew up in a family of educators—my teaching journey began at age seven as my mom’s assistant. After 15 years in tech, I returned to education in 2015 through my YouTube channel, creating content on design, coding, XR, and AI. The channel thrived, and in 2024, I began teaching at Cañada College as an adjunct professor. This year, I was honored to serve as an AI Fellow, supporting Spatial AI & XR across 116 California community colleges.

My Teaching Philosophy

My teaching philosophy centers on creating inclusive, immersive, and curiosity-driven learning environments that empower every student to engage deeply, think critically, and create meaningfully. As an educator working at the intersection of XR and instructional design, I believe in meeting learners where they are—technologically, cognitively, and emotionally.

When selecting Learning Management System (LMS) tools, Canvas is my top choice. I prioritize three key considerations: accessibility, to ensure that all students, regardless of device or bandwidth, can participate fully; usability, so that the platform enhances rather than obstructs the learning experience; and equity, to make sure every learner feels represented, supported, and included. These guiding principles help transform digital platforms from mere containers of content into catalysts for connection and creative exploration.
