Senior🎓
Top SchoolRay Pulsipher is an IT cybersecurity instructor and senior software engineer with nine years of focused experience building secure, offline-capable education technology for incarcerated students and underserved populations. He designs and deploys pragmatic infrastructure and curriculum—most notably the Open Prison Education (OPE) project and a self-hosted, prison-ready Canvas LMS—that bridge the equity gap between prison and outside education. A longtime small-business owner and adjunct professor, Ray blends hands-on development (C#, Python, PHP, Unity), systems administration, and course design to create low-cost, high-impact solutions that reduce workload and increase access. His work to automate student IT needs began teaching game development at Clallam Bay Corrections Center and has since been adopted across Washington and beyond, demonstrating both technical rigor and real-world scalability.
