Professional Learning & AI Portfolio

Selected learning programmes, digital courses, AI-supported onboarding environments, knowledge systems, and research-informed projects designed to support learning, professional judgement, and organisational performance.

I work across Instructional Design, Learning Experience Design, Artificial Intelligence, Knowledge Systems, and Educational Psychology.

My work includes self-paced online courses, scenario-based learning, organisational onboarding, AI-supported access to knowledge, and research into the design and evaluation of human-centred knowledge systems.

This website is a professional portfolio documenting selected learning, research, and design work. It is intended to support professional applications, portfolio reviews, and conversations about research or employment opportunities.

Selected public examples are available below. Work developed within organisational settings is presented only in anonymised form in order to protect confidential information, internal procedures, and private data.

Portfolio Overview

The projects presented here demonstrate end-to-end learning design: from needs analysis, learning objectives, course architecture, and instructional strategy to multimedia production, interactive activities, scenario-based assessment, AI-supported learning, and implementation.

Public Examples

Selected learning work available to explore online.

Live Example 01

Interactive Rise 360 Learning Example

A selected section of an online learning experience created using Articulate Rise 360 with interactive and scenario-based elements.

The example demonstrates lesson structure, visual hierarchy, multimedia integration, learner guidance, interactive content, and knowledge-check design.

AI Education RAG Knowledge Architecture Generative AI
AI & Knowledge Systems

Applied AI environments designed around structured knowledge and real organisational needs.

These projects demonstrate how conversational AI, structured knowledge, retrieval systems, and controlled workflows can support employees, learners, customers, and professional decision-making.

The portfolio includes both implemented AI environments developed for practical use and experimental research prototypes created to investigate new approaches to knowledge systems, human-AI collaboration, and decision support.

AI Project 01

AI-Supported Onboarding & Knowledge Environment

Designed and implemented an AI-supported onboarding and knowledge environment that provides employees with conversational access to procedures, training materials, operational guidance, and organisation-specific knowledge.

The environment supports consistent onboarding, reduces reliance on guesswork, and helps employees locate relevant information during everyday work while reinforcing organisational standards and established workflows.

AI-Supported Learning Employee Onboarding Knowledge Management Operational Guidance
AI Project 02

Knowledge & Decision-Support Research Prototype

Developed an experimental research environment supporting the structured exploration, comparison, and interpretation of complex narrative knowledge.

The project combines controlled retrieval, structured case representation, epistemic boundaries, and human-centred workflows to investigate how AI can support professional reasoning without replacing human judgement.

Organisational Work & Confidentiality

Selected organisational work cannot be published in full.

Some projects were developed within private organisational settings and contain internal procedures, proprietary knowledge, operational documentation, private information, or security-sensitive content.

For this reason, complete courses and working environments are not published openly. Where appropriate, the design approach, learning objectives, instructional strategy, architecture, workflow, tools, and non-sensitive outcomes may be discussed during a professional portfolio review.

Anonymised portfolio material

Where appropriate, selected anonymised screenshots, demonstration materials, interface examples, or non-sensitive extracts may be shared privately for portfolio review.

Organisation names, resident information, internal procedures, access arrangements, private knowledge bases, and confidential operational details are not disclosed.
