What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead AI-augmented curriculum strategy and multi-country rollouts, collaborate cross-functionally, and scale learning impact.

I am a visionary Learning Architect with 10+ years designing and managing global learning initiatives that reach hundreds of thousands of learners. I specialize in AI-augmented instructional design, accelerating high-fidelity curriculum delivery and driving measurable behavioral change.

I build multi-country learning roadmaps, community-based learning systems, and data-driven interventions—mobilizing tens of thousands of volunteers and optimizing rollout across APAC, Africa, Latin America, and beyond. My Rapid-Pedagogy Framework integrates LLMs into ADDIE to cut development cycles dramatically while preserving pedagogical alignment.

I combine learning science, prompt engineering, and pragmatic project management to deliver accessible, scalable programs; notable outcomes include programs impacting 225,000+ learners, diverting millions of plastics through education, and training thousands of volunteer leaders.
