Working learning apps, not mock-ups

These are complete, browser-based learning tools I designed and built from scratch — open one and explore it live. No installs, no logins.

Gamified course First Aid Trainer

First Aid Trainer

Nine gamified first-aid scenarios — from cardiac arrest and drowning to anaphylaxis, snake bite and stroke — plus a hands-on CPR simulator, a guided course with a progress dashboard, and a printable completion certificate.

Hands-on hardware Computer Assembly Simulator

Computer Assembly Simulator

A drag-and-drop PC build trainer — students place each component into the case and fasten it, learning hardware assembly with no physical kit. Pairs with a real screwdriver that drives the scroll-wheel for a genuinely tactile "screwing in" feel.

Interactive 3D Molecule Explorer

Molecule Explorer

An interactive 3D chemistry lab — build molecules atom by atom, explore 200+ from the library, play animated reactions with energy diagrams, and visualise VSEPR geometry, hybridisation, formal charges and resonance.

What I do

From learning strategy to working software

I bridge instructional design with hands-on development — so the people who know the learning and the people who build the tech are the same person.

🎓

Learning & instructional design

Course and curriculum design, learning outcomes and assessment, accessibility / UDL, and content development grounded in how people actually learn.

🧩

LMS — Moodle & Canvas

Administration, custom plugin and component development, course build and structure, and cross-platform migration and integration.

🤖

AI for education

AI-assisted content generation, LLM tool-calling agents, prompt and workflow design, and private / local model deployment for data-sensitive environments.

⚙️

Automation

Microsoft Power Automate and Power Apps; workflow automation and systems integration that removes manual, repetitive work from teams.

💻

Development

PHP, JavaScript, Joomla and WordPress; custom plugins and components, and API integrations across platforms and services.

Interactive learning tools

Bespoke, browser-based teaching tools — simulations, practice activities and games — built to teach a specific skill, like the demos above.

About

25 years of software, 7 in learning design

My recent focus is applying AI to course content: designing and building tools that generate, structure and quality-check learning materials at scale — including in privacy-sensitive environments where data can't leave the building. I work end-to-end, from the learning design through to the software that delivers it.

I'm based in Mackay, Australia and work remotely with universities and training providers across the country.

  • Advanced Diploma of Information Technology
  • Certificate IV in Assessment and Workplace Training (TAE)
  • Associate Learning Designer, higher education — 2019–present
  • Director / Lead Developer, swMenu Pty Ltd — 2004–present
