Welcome to my portfolio

I don’t just dump information, I build scenarios where learners practice real skills. Because the goal isn’t just to finish the course; it’s to turn passive knowledge into confident action.

Selected projects

Here is a blend of live client projects and portfolio-exclusive concepts. Explore the case studies below to see my design process, the tools I used, and the problems I solved.

Warehouse Runner

Ever worked a warehouse shift on a tight clock? This gamified experience trains learners to pick, pack, and prioritize orders under pressure, while avoiding the safety and quality mistakes that cause delays and rework.

Intel Nexus - Cyber Security

Welcome to Intel Nexus, a top-tier cybersecurity agency. This microlearning puts learners in the role of a security agent, where they learn core fundamentals through story-led scenarios and practical decision-making.

Service Star Challenge

Picture a call that starts tense and ends with trust. This branching simulation changes the customer’s reactions based on each response, helping learners practice de-escalation, clarity, and problem-solving that leads to clean resolutions.

The Anatomy of a Failed Project

A single bad decision just lost a $100k contract. In this interactive podcast experience, learners step into the shoes of a project manager under fire. Listen to the interview, face tense decision points, and practice handling scope creep before a real crisis hits.

Patient Safety 101

Ever been in an urgent care clinic when everything moves quickly? In this training, learners face realistic nursing situations and practice essential patient safety habits, including identity checks, clear communication, and responding to changes in a patient’s condition.

Safe Work Practices

Meet Rohan, Ana, and Jack. Three short stories from the floor that each spotlight a different safe work habit. In this documentary-style video, learners see practical industrial best practices in action and take away clear behaviors that reduce risk and prevent incidents.

Crisis response: Evacuate or Shelter

When a situation turns violent, seconds matter. This high-stakes simulation trains learners to recognize warning signs, choose the safest response, and follow crisis protocols under pressure, with realistic consequences based on every decision.

Leo, Ethical Chatbot

Meet Leo, an ethical chatbot built to make Code of Conduct guidance feel usable in real life. Learners bring dilemmas and questions to Leo, explore clear options, and build judgment through short, practical conversations instead of click-next compliance screens.
