Open to contract and full-time instructional design roles

I design learning that holds up to scrutiny.

Then I build tools that check it. I'm an instructional designer with 15 years of enterprise training at Collins Aerospace, Motorola Solutions, and V2X.

Portfolio

Don't read about the courses. Take them.

Four courses from a cybersecurity curriculum I designed, sequenced from foundations to judgment. Every card launches the real thing.

Sequenced on purpose

Each course assumes only what came before it, so learners move from recognizing threats to judging trade-offs.

Built to be practiced

Scenarios and interactions in Articulate Storyline 360, so learners make decisions instead of reading slides.

Aligned end to end

Objectives, practice, and assessment line up. It's the same standard Pedagrade now checks automatically.

Design documents

Real Motorola Solutions work samples, NDA-cleared and de-branded.

My main project

Pedagrade checks course design, and shows its work.

Fifteen years of reviewing courses taught me where they break: objectives the quiz never tests, answer keys that are wrong, questions pitched at the wrong Bloom's level. Pedagrade checks your objectives, lessons, and quizzes as you build them, then reviews the whole course before launch.

It runs inside Claude or on the web, and it never sends your course to an AI company. A checker you can't verify is only an opinion, so every result is tested in the open.

What's next

New technology, same craft.

I learn new tools by building with them, then bring what works back to the learner. The technology changes. Analysis, alignment, and practice don't.

Live learning platform

Codewright

A curriculum for a new kind of learner: people who build apps with AI but never learned what's underneath. Security, how their app actually works, reading code they didn't write. Sequenced as a four-rung ladder, from first concepts to going deeper in a real language.

AI, used with judgment

I use AI to move faster on analysis and first drafts. Then I check the output, which is why I built Pedagrade: so quality gets verified instead of assumed.

Past the authoring tool

Storyline 360 is home base. When a course needs more than slides, I can build interactive learning for the web myself.
