Learning experience designer at TRM Transform who designed and delivered 25+ workshops for groups of 5 to 350+ participants.
What I'm looking for
At TRM Transform, I designed and delivered 25+ workshops on decision-making, goal alignment, creativity and execution, for groups ranging from 5 to 350+ participants. I built reusable frameworks that turn broad concepts into practical activities.
I’ve also taught electronics, digital design and FPGA at universities, and worked on FPGA-based real-time systems for energy and smart grids. I’m now looking for full-time work in instructional design, learning experience design or training, where I can make complex things simple through learning, teaching and facilitation.
Experience
Work history, roles, and key accomplishments
Trying new work I test small work ideas and keep the ones that pay.
* Service improvement briefs: wrote 6, sent 5, no replies. Closed Sep 2026.
* ByteGraft electronics programme for kids: ran 8 weeks. Paused Sep 2026.
* Now: restarting Harbour Hearth, exploring ways to make money with electronics, open to training and facilitation days.
Hands-on electronics education for young learners. Designed the curriculum and the kits, and ran an eight-week programme with small groups on weekends. Paused in September 2026.
