01 — Experience

I trained in psychology, nursing and organisational management before I ever administered a server. That order is the point.

Most learning technology is built by people who have never been on the receiving end of it. I began in data operations, moved into HR leadership, and only then into platform engineering, and that route is the argument: learning technology is built better when the person building it understands the work, constraints and expectations of the people using it.

    Digital-learning company building, hosting and administering a Moodle platform portfolio of 15+ instances for education, professional-development and public-sector organisations across more than 10 countries. I build the courses from subject-matter-expert material in Articulate Storyline 360 and Rise 360, package them as SCORM, deploy them, and then operate the platforms end to end.

    Human Resources Manager

    Promoted from data operations into branch HR leadership: recruitment, performance appraisals and training-needs analysis for a large membership organisation — and a daily view of how much time professionals lose to systems designed around institutions rather than the people expected to use them.

02 — Capabilities

Capabilities

Six areas where I do the work myself rather than coordinate it. Grouped by the outcome they produce.

Learning platforms & Moodle

A platform configured for the organisation that has to use it, and kept healthy after launch.

  • Multi-instance Moodle administration
  • Platform builds: setup, configuration, theming
  • Upgrades, user management and role structures
  • Technical support and reliability

Course design & production

Subject-matter expertise turned into courses that learners complete and that report reliable progress data.

  • Instructional design from SME source material
  • Articulate Storyline 360 and Rise 360 authoring
  • SCORM packaging and deployment
  • End-to-end tracking verification

Platform operations & compliance

Reliable evidence that training took place, produced without putting personal data at risk.

  • GDPR-compliant operational processes
  • Completion and usage dashboards
  • Periodic reporting to client organisations
  • Records management at 200,000+ user scale
  • Technical support for all platform users

Web platforms & technical operations

Web presence and custom tooling delivered end to end, then kept running.

  • Web development and hosting oversight
  • Custom web applications
  • Scoping, launch and post-launch support

Automation & applied AI

Removing repetitive digital work without waiting for complete system replacement.

  • Low-code workflow automation
  • Agentic AI workflows for practitioner-led tasks
  • AI-powered chatbots for institutional clients

Coordination & communication

Projects that land, and stakeholders who understand what was delivered.

  • EU-funded project support (Erasmus+ KA1/KA2)
  • Stakeholder engagement across institutions
  • Training, facilitation and capacity building
  • Digital communication and visual identity

03 — Selected work

Selected work

Four engagements that show the range: national-scale operations, multi-client platform management, course production, and applied automation.

Learning technology · National scale

A national-scale learning platform serving more than 200,000 users

Outcome A large-scale learning platform serving more than 200,000 users, operated as part of the wider LearnZone platform portfolio.

Context

A national organisation needed to deliver structured professional education to a large, geographically distributed audience, with completion records that could withstand operational and administrative scrutiny.

Problem

Training was fragmented and difficult to evidence. There was no single place where the organisation could see who had completed which programme, and no repeatable process for publishing new learning material.

Role

Sole platform architect, administrator and operator.

What I did

  • Built and configured the Moodle platform, including theming, permissions and role structures.
  • Established the course-publishing pipeline: SME source material → authored module → SCORM package → deployed course.
  • Implemented GDPR-compliant operational processes covering the records of more than 200,000 users, applying formal Data Protection Officer training.
  • Created completion and usage dashboards and periodic reporting for the organisation.
  • Continue to manage the complete platform lifecycle: upgrades, user administration, technical support and day-to-day reliability.

Tools & methods

  • Moodle
  • SCORM
  • Articulate Storyline 360
  • Rise 360
  • GDPR processes
