Instructional Designer – Code @ Apple

After 9 incredible years at LinkedIn — through wildfires, landslides, a pandemic, elections, org changes, and the rise of A.I. — I’m moving on to my next adventure.

It’s been an absolute pleasure working with such talented, kind, and dedicated colleagues. I’ll always be grateful for the experiences, growth, and friendships I’ve gained.

Couldn’t be more excited to contribute to a company that sparked my passion for coding and inspired me to dive into the world of education.

Excited to contribute to innovative learning experiences!

Speed2048

I got addicted to the 2048 game but was tired of having to watch adds, so I asked my AI tools to help me create a clone. I used ChatGPT to create the initial game, then GitHub Copilot to help me optimize the code, and then Grok for fast questions and smaller bits of code I needed along the way.

Soon it will be in the app store! Check out the website:

Back to Blogging

So I basically stopped blogging once I graduated, started my job search, and found one! Now working at Lynda.com, a LinkedIn company, subsidiary of Microsoft, as a Technology Content Producer. Basically I work as an Instructional Designer helping our subject matter experts craft their course into online training. We start with helping them structure their table of contents, author their scripts, create their slides, and ultimately come out to record the cours in our ‘mini-hollywood’.

Loving the job, the people, and the corporate culture 🙂
