About Me

Eris Taylor

Educator & Developer

Tenacious Developer | Creative Problem Solver | Logic-Driven Solutions | Independent AI Developer & Coder | Endโ€‘toโ€‘End Builder (Server Hardware to AI Stack) | Ethical Hacking Hobbyist

I've been coding since the 1980s, starting on an Acorn Atom. But my journey into professional software development started in the classroomโ€”where I spent 25 years as an educator, including roles as Deputy Headteacher, Advanced Skills Teacher, and ICT Consultant for Building Schools for the Future with Kent County Council.

As an educator, I saw firsthand how the right tools could transform learning experiencesโ€”and how the wrong ones created unnecessary friction. When I couldn't find software that truly served my students' needs, I learned to build it myself. What began as automation scripts to save administrative time evolved into a passion for creating purposeful, logic-driven solutions that actually work for real users.

My background gives me a unique advantage: I've designed curricula, developed assessments, trained teachers, led whole-school ICT strategy, and supported over 20 young people as a foster carerโ€”helping them access education and develop independence. I understand instructional design, learning pathways, and what educators actually need because I've lived it for 25 years.

Today, I specialize in building full-stack web applications and SaaS platforms on Replit, with deep expertise in educational technology, business automation, and AI development. My approach is truly end-to-end: I can assemble server hardware, configure Linux environments, architect databases, build APIs, design interfaces, and deploy production systemsโ€”all while keeping the user experience at the center of every decision.

I'm also an independent AI developer (I built Nova, a custom AI assistant running on self-built hardware with Docker, ChromaDB, and Rasa), cybersecurity enthusiast with TryHackMe certifications, and YouTube educator teaching others to build AI systems. I teach coding to young people in Lua/Roblox Studio and continue tutoring online students in Maths, Physics, Chemistry, and Computing since 2022.

My philosophy is simple: technology should solve real problems, not create new ones. Every line of code should serve a purpose. Every feature should make someone's work easier, clearer, or more productive. Whether it's a qualification tracking system for schools, a business automation platform, or an AI-powered planning tool, I build solutions that turn complexity into clarity.
