CoCo Coders / CMoD / STEM Lab

Helped young learners get comfortable with technology one small win at a time.

Whether teaching Scratch with CoCo Coders, volunteering at the Children’s Discovery Museum of the Desert, or helping out in elementary STEM labs, I try to make technical ideas feel approachable without sanding off the interesting parts.

I aim to meet people where they are without talking down to them, helping them understand not just how something works, but why it works. That “why” gives them something they can reason through, remember, and apply again later.

People of all ages learn better in an environment that encourages exploration, curiosity, and creativity without stigmatizing failure.

Supported STEM Discovery Science nights, exhibits, experiments, and parent interaction

Encouraged Curiosity Questions, theories, testing, play, and self-directed problem solving

FinThrive / Precyse

Built training tools that helped medical professionals learn complicated material.

At Precyse, I created learning games, simulations, mobile apps, and interactive courseware for a healthcare education suite. Much of the work centered on making dense subject matter easier to review, practice, and assess - with a heavy focus on giving learners immediate feedback.

The challenge was not only building the learner-facing tools. It was also making the production system usable for non-technical subject matter experts creating large volumes of content. I paired games, simulations, and assessments with Excel templates and scripts that converted SME-authored material into deployable learning modules.

That let instructional designers and SMEs work in familiar tools, reduce errors, and make updates without every change becoming a custom development project.

Created Learning Products Games, simulators, apps, assessments, and course experiences

Reduced Technical Bottlenecks Let subject matter experts create training content without touching code

Scaled Healthcare Training Content systems used across hospital-facing education products

Bacon and Games YouTube Channel

Built a YouTube channel around practical tutorials and game-development guidance.

I built Bacon and Games around practical game-development education: a mix of Godot tutorials for common game development patterns and publishing guidance for indie developers. The goal was not just to show steps on screen, but to explain why those steps mattered, so viewers could understand the underlying decision and apply it in their own projects.

Running the channel came with the bonus of giving me practical experience with YouTube. I learned how to package ideas, script and edit videos, test titles and thumbnails, structure intros, read audience signals, respond to comments, work with sponsors, and build trust with a technical audience over time.

I can turn product knowledge into tutorials, explainers, devlogs, docs, community updates, and educational content that viewers genuinely learn from.
