Articulate Development
From January of 2022 to January of 2024 working predominately with Articulate Rise 360 and Articulate Storyline I was responsible for the conversion, update and maintenance of the entire e-Learning web library, consisting of 39 courses. It was my responsibility to translate all previous HTML and Javascript interactions into Storyboard and Rise. Some interactions like accordions and hotspot interactions were translated using Rise but the others, the more complex interactions like branching scenarios and dynamic screen tours, were developed using Articulate Storyline.
Accomplishments:
- Converted, updated and maintained 39 e-learning courses using Articulate software
- Scripted updates working with subject matter experts
- Developed interactions that would engage learners
- Developed exams & knowledge checks for learner retention
- Using Articulate's built in functionality created SCORM packages and uploaded to an LMS
- Coordinated with ILT instructors for consistency across training formats

Adobe Animate Development (previously Flash)
In 2006 after a successful internship as a storyboard artist for the California Institute for Biodiversity (CIB) I began my career creating and updating illustrations for the non-profits existing e-learning catalogue of products. In 2007 I began developing new e-learning software and in 2009 I became lead developer. From 2007 to 2011 I assisted with the update and development of four separate e-learning softwares. In 2011 I was promoted to Director of E-Learning and as Director I had the pleasure of producing and writing my first e-Learning course where I acted as lead illustrator, designer, assistant animator and art director. In 2013 I moved on from my position as Director of E-Learning at CIB to help the newly formed FireEye education team flesh out, update and develop their e-learning library utilizing my skills as an Adobe Animate/Flash developer.
Accomplishments:
- Developed new and updated existing e-learning projects
- Assisted in facilitating peer reviews and end user feedback sessions
- Storyboarded narratives and interactions
- Directed an e-learning project from idea to publication
- Animated and developed numerous diagrams and e-learning interactions
- Marketed e-Learning projects and spearheaded social outreach

Video Development
After developing FireEye's e-learning courses using Adobe Flash and then evolving them and creating new additions to the course library using HTML, the time came when the direction and demand of e-Learning formats began swinging toward video based lessons and the push to make "snackable" short form content. During this period as a designer and developer I assisted in the creation and direction of a short form informational video series for YouTube, in which we ultimately produced 66 episodes, and developed multiple video based lessons derived from the information from existing courses and then later on when I transitioned from FireEye to Trellix I again spearheaded another short form info video YouTube series and produced 33 episodes as well as created user guide videos for a high profile customer facing video project.
Accomplishments:
- Developed on-camera strategies for instructors
- Worked in-studio and off-site to direct and record trainers
- Produced and edited multiple YouTube info and training series with a hundred+ episodes
- Adapted previous HTML training formats to video based formats
- Explored and produced interactive training videos using using Front End tools such as CSS and Javascript
- Leveraged my knowledge of Premiere Pro, Photoshop and Illustrator to build engaging e-learning videos
