Summary

AI enablement and learning & development professional with 10+ years designing and delivering learning programmes across four countries. Translates complex AI and emerging technology concepts into accessible, high-impact capability building initiatives for diverse professional audiences. Designed, developed, and independently deployed a four-module AI literacy enablement programme grounded in 10 peer-reviewed studies, achieving 28% learner performance uplift through evidence-based instructional design and a Kirkpatrick Levels 1–4 evaluation framework. Combines instructional design expertise, hands-on generative AI fluency, and change management experience with a track record of driving technology adoption, building scalable learning solutions, and embedding AI tools into organizational workflows.

Core Competencies

AI Enablement & Adoption // Instructional Design (ADDIE) // Change Management // Learning & Development // Stakeholder Management // Programme Management // Generative AI / LLMs // Learning Needs Analysis // Learning Analytics // Capability Building // Blended Learning Design // Kirkpatrick Evaluation // Adult Learning Principles // Cross-Functional Facilitation // E-Learning Design

Featured Project — AI Literacy for the Modern Workforce

Conducted a structured needs analysis using action mapping and learner persona development, grounded in 10 peer-reviewed studies including Anthropic Economic Index workforce research and WEF Future of Jobs 2025 data, to define capability gaps and performance objectives for a mid-career professional audience.
Designed a four-module, 37-section learning programme with 12 practice activities, pre/post competency assessments, and adaptive sequencing — applying ADDIE methodology and Anthropic's 4D competency framework (Delegation, Description, Discernment, Diligence) as an organizing taxonomy.
Built a Kirkpatrick Levels 1–4 evaluation framework including reaction surveys, knowledge assessments with 28% pre-to-post performance uplift, behavioral transfer indicators, and organizational impact metrics.
Engineered and deployed a custom learning platform (React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS) featuring client-side BPE tokenization, real softmax-with-temperature probability demonstrations, xAPI-aligned event tracking, active reading time analytics, and an admin dashboard with live learner data — deployed on Cloudflare Pages.
Delivered the complete programme in 80–100 hours solo, representing a 7–9x build compression against the Chapman Alliance industry baseline of 735 hours for comparable e-learning, demonstrating AI-augmented L&D development methodology.

Experience

Learning Design & AI Enablement | MYP Design Teacher
Stamford American International School Singapore // Singapore
July 2025 - Present

Designed a cross-functional AI literacy enablement programme for a non-technical department, drawing on original M.Ed. research on AI literacy instruction through large language model mechanics to develop a four-activity learning sequence and a standalone facilitator guide — enabling independent, scalable delivery by practitioners without AI expertise.
Embedded generative AI tools (NotebookLM, Gemini Custom Gems, Flint) into operational documentation workflows, redesigning systems to support ethical AI prototyping and structured scaffolding. Learner feedback indicated measurable increases in self-directed engagement and resource accessibility.
Built a data-driven programme evaluation system using structured competency assessments and post-programme surveys to measure learning effectiveness and guide iterative design revision. Achieved a 95% favorable score on engagement and perseverance metrics.
Designed and deployed a scalable reporting framework adopted across the department, reducing administrative overhead during reporting cycles and endorsed by senior leadership as a model for operational efficiency.
Consulted on organizational AI literacy programme design for senior leadership, developing curriculum architecture and instructional sequencing grounded in independent graduate research on AI literacy pedagogy.

Emergent Technology Coach | Mathematics and Computer Science Teacher
