The Developer Behind the Outcomes.
I build enterprise learning that changes behavior — not training that just gets completed.
My career started at the ground level. In 2013 I joined Spryos as a support specialist, learning the end-user experience firsthand. That perspective became the foundation for everything since: every design decision starts with the learner, not the template.
Over the next decade I grew from instructional designer to senior designer, project manager, and customer success manager — designing enterprise eLearning for Fortune 500 clients including Intel, sustaining a 100% CSAT score, and earning a six-year strategic retainer along the way. I pair deep Articulate Storyline craft with the custom JavaScript depth to build what the platform won't give you: gamified assessments, branching simulations, custom navigation players, and xAPI instrumentation that turns learning into business intelligence.
Today I'm the founder of Small Boulder AI, where I've logged 4,000+ hours of hands-on AI production. I also drove enrollment and ran the out-of-class learning experience for a $20K AI bootcamp — onboarding, job aids, reminder communications, and learning summaries that kept owners progressing between sessions. I bring that same AI fluency back into L&D — accelerating production without cutting the quality that makes training actually work.

Russell is one of the most diligent people I have ever known. For him, leaving something undone, or done poorly is not an option. He consistently applies himself fully and adds genuine value to any organization.
Most eLearning Developers Stop at SCORM. I Don't.
SCORM tells you someone finished a course. That's a checkbox, not an insight. xAPI implementation turns every learning experience into a business intelligence layer — and most developers don't know how to build it.
The escape room assessment in this portfolio doesn't just report pass/fail. When xAPI is layered in, it captures every puzzle attempt, every wrong decision, every voluntary replay — and connects that behavioral data to downstream performance metrics. The fact that one learner played it 21 times isn't just a good story. It's a data point that proves the experience design worked, and xAPI is what makes that measurable.
