Many production workflows rely on manual steps, fragile processes, or tools that were never designed for the task at hand. I look for opportunities to automate repetitive work, simplify technical procedures, and create small utilities that make everyday tasks easier and more reliable.
My solutions typically combine lightweight scripting and web-based tools—such as Python automation, browser-based utilities, and simple HTML/CSS/JavaScript interfaces—to solve practical problems. The goal is not complexity, but tools that remove friction, save time, and allow teams to focus on the work that matters.

Post-production DOM Manipulation of WYSIWYG eLearning Media
Bridging ID workflows and front-end enhancement under strict constraints
- Category: Web Design, Creative Problem Solving, Javascript coding and libraries
- Organization: Integration Innovation, Inc.
- Project date: 2025
- Considerations: Customer style guide; no server-side scripting; graceful degradation for older browsers, small screens, and offline/webless environments.
Problem
- Contract requirements limited our production tools, and none could fully deliver the modern, interactive UI the customer wanted.
- A post-production enhancement layer existed, but the internal developer maintaining it was overwhelmed by support requests, bug reports, and feature asks from a large ID team.
- Communication gaps (terminology, expectations, and workflows) between developers and instructional staff slowed iteration and made requirements harder to translate into actionable work.
Solution
- A hybrid role was established for an Instructional Designer with web development expertise to bridge the gap between teams.
- Became an expert user of the toolchain, contributed to the code base, and delivered release training to the broader ID team.
- Managed the intake pipeline: collected feature requests, triaged bugs, and synthesized feedback from 100+ Instructional Designers into clear, developer-ready requirements.
- “Translated” concepts across departments to accelerate implementation and reduce rework.
Results
- Faster delivery of interactive features that directly supported instructional objectives.
- Time and cost savings from more efficient tool usage and fewer avoidable support cycles across the ID team.
- Contributed production code for GIF controls, hotspot behaviors, and scientific symbol support—capabilities not previously possible within the client's constraints.
