About

Hey, I'm Josh.

A career built one project, one team, and one story at a time.

Over 14 years in eLearning, I've grown from Junior Developer up through the ranks.

Across companies and disciplines I sharpened graphic design, course development, and tech integration, then led as a Development Manager, Client Engagement Lead, and Project Manager.

Today my focus is building real tools with Claude: a digital ILT Bootcamp, automated processes, and reporting wired into Airtable and other databases.

What I do

Five crafts. One toolkit.

From Claude-powered builds to leading teams to voice work, I move between disciplines with intention.

Claude AI Development · New focus

Putting Claude to work.

I use Claude to build the things my teams actually run on: a digital and hybrid ILT Bootcamp, automated content and ops processes, and reporting pipelines wired into Airtable and other databases.

A digital ILT Bootcamp, built with Claude.

My flagship build is a digital and hybrid ILT Bootcamp, a Claude-powered platform that runs instructor-led training online and in person. From there I keep pointing Claude at real work: automating digital processes and wiring live data into Airtable and other databases for clean, current reporting.

  • Digital / hybrid ILT BootcampA Claude-built platform delivering instructor-led training online and in the room.
  • Process automationClaude agents that take over repetitive digital workflows end to end.
  • Data & reportingPipelines that push activity into Airtable and other databases, so reports stay live.
  • Custom MCP servers & skillsSecure access to the exact tools and data a team needs.

Digital ILT Bootcamp

A Claude-powered platform that delivers instructor-led training as a digital and hybrid experience.

Process automation

Agents that take over repetitive digital processes and run them reliably in the background.

Airtable & database reporting

Live activity piped into Airtable and other databases, so reporting stays current with no manual work.

Prompt & eval engineering

Structured prompting and evals so AI features behave predictably in production.

Claude API & Agent SDK

Streaming, tool use, and multi-step agents wired into apps teams use every day.

Custom MCP servers

Model Context Protocol servers that securely connect Claude to internal tools and data.

Management

Leadership that creates room for people to do their best work.

I focus on creating an environment where people feel supported, trusted, and motivated. Calm, strategic, accountable, with space for growth, learning, and collaboration.

01 / People

People Management

Weekly wellness checks. L10-structured meetings. Quarterly and annual goal plans built to keep skills sharp while honoring personal growth.

02 / Projects

Project Management

Detailed plans in Monday.com and Wrike, kickoffs that align stakeholders, milestone reviews that catch issues before they become blockers.

03 / Hiring

Hiring & Fit

I hire for personality and team fit as much as skill. Curiosity and character can be grown into mastery, and they stick.

04 / Onboarding

Onboarding & Training

Structured plans for first day, first week, first month, first year, designed to build confidence and create a culture where questions are welcome.

05 / Process

Process Improvement

Processes are living systems. I treat improvement as collaborative, small thoughtful adjustments that compound into smoother workflows.

06 / Voice

Thought Leadership

Webinars and blog posts on emerging eLearning tech, instructional design, and integrating AI into modern learning experiences.

eLearning Development

Courses that finish themselves, because learners want to.

I start with learner needs and clear objectives, then storyboard, build, voice, and refine, every course aligned to instructional goals and accessibility standards.

AI-designed microlearning

A multi-model approach to microlearning.

I design short, high-impact microlearning with a multi-model AI workflow, letting Claude, Gemini, and ChatGPT each do what it does best. Claude drives structure, scripting, and the build; Gemini handles research and visual concepts; ChatGPT speeds ideation and alternate phrasing. Faster to ship, without giving up craft.

Webinars on Mobile Learning & the Future of L&D

I've presented webinars on industry trends in Mobile Learning, how it differs from traditional eLearning, designing for on-the-go learners, optimizing for smaller screens, and creating microlearning experiences that fit seamlessly into busy schedules.

Indie Game Development

A solo project. A whole world.

In 2024 I began developing my first indie game, The Guardian Shift, a passion project I've been building entirely on my own. From level design and story to art, music, and gameplay systems. Now available to wishlist on Steam.

After 4 years working with Josh as a manager, I highly recommend him for any eLearning management and development position. Josh is an extremely rare talent. His project planning, resourcing, and mentorship have taught me how to prioritize work independently and collaborate well with SMEs and clients. He always knows how to push innovative and efficient solutions.

The great thing about Josh is his wide variety of skills. He has a great voice and is very talented in voice over work. He served as a project manager, coordinating a complex, multi-faceted eLearning project. He also develops in Storyline, so he understands the inner workings of design and how it impacts learning.

Josh was one of the quickest media designers to learn our tools, processes, and development guidelines. He has enormous talents as a designer and a genuine desire to exceed your vision for the media content of a project. He asks the right questions at the right times and continually grows as a colleague.
