I build useful software
and teach technology clearly.

I’m Anson Alexander. I build TypeDrift, Rexplorer, and PageTidy, and I’ve spent more than a decade teaching technology through YouTube and LinkedIn Learning.

I build tools I use myself and teach technology from firsthand experience.

Each side makes the other better.

Teaching technology has shaped how I build software.

Years of teaching have sharpened my judgment around usability, workflow, and where unnecessary complexity gets in the way.

Teaching requires understanding a tool well enough to explain it clearly. That carries directly into product design, where confusing workflows and unnecessary complexity are difficult to ignore.

Building software lets me apply that perspective directly. I use the products myself, design around real workflows, and keep improving them over time.
