Independent Interactive Developer
I build practical, user-focused digital learning experiences, interactive tools, and custom web functionality.
My work often sits between instructional content, frontend development, interaction design, production workflows, and technical problem-solving. For more than 20 years, I've helped teams turn plans, designs, media, and technical requirements into working deliverables for learners, clients, and end users.
I have spent many years helping clients create interactive learning and web experiences, often moving between tools as each project requires. That has included eLearning development, Storyline, SCORM/LMS support, WordPress customization, custom JavaScript, Vue.js projects, and newer AI-assisted work.
My strength is not being locked into one toolset; it is understanding the goal, choosing the right approach, and building something clear, usable, and maintainable.
Portfolio
eLearning Development
Long-term contract work supporting interactive eLearning programs across industries for a Minneapolis-based learning and development firm. Projects have included SCORM-compliant course development, custom interactions, asset integration, QA, LMS deployment support, and close collaboration with instructional and creative teams.
Mobile Learning App and Interactive Training Tools
Developed interactive learning tools and a cross-platform mobile training app built with a Vue-based framework and deployed to iOS and Android app stores. Work included interface development, production support, and delivery of accessible learning content.
WordPress Website and Custom Functionality
Customized and supported a commercial WordPress/WooCommerce site for an independent book publisher. Work included child theme adjustments, frontend styling, retailer-link workflows, plugin customization, and targeted custom functionality developed with AI-assisted implementation and review.
Web-Based Fitness Calculators
Created a mobile-first set of browser-based fitness tools, including training calculators and barbell configuration utilities. The project explores modern frontend development workflows, reusable interface patterns, responsive design, and AI-assisted implementation.
Interactive Tools for Training and Accessibility
Built custom interactive tools and simulations for training and accessibility-related use cases, including web-based simulators and desktop applications used for learning, demonstration, or production support.
Capabilities
I work across the space between learning, content, interaction, and the web. Depending on the project, that can mean building custom front-end interfaces, developing eLearning modules, improving WordPress sites, supporting LMS delivery, or helping teams turn complex material into something usable.
I also bring practical UX/UI and interaction design experience to this work, shaping user flows, wireframes, prototypes, interface layouts, and learning interactions that can move directly into production.
I develop interactive training programs using tools such as Articulate Storyline, custom HTML/CSS/JavaScript, SCORM workflows, and LMS delivery requirements.
I create lightweight, browser-based tools and interfaces that help users calculate, explore, compare, practice, or make decisions.
I help assemble complete projects from instructional, creative, media, and technical inputs, including QA, debugging, accessibility review, and production coordination.
I customize existing WordPress and WooCommerce sites through child theme work, frontend styling, plugin configuration, and targeted custom functionality.
I use AI-assisted development workflows thoughtfully to accelerate prototyping, implementation, documentation, and review while keeping maintainability in focus.
