Introduction

International learning consultant and IB educator.

I have over 20 years of experience across curriculum design, programme coordination, and instructional technology. The work here reflects that range, from AI-powered IB assessment tools and LMS builds to web design, content writing, and campaign work.

TOK Exhibition Assessment Suite

React, Vite and Express · deployed on Render

An AI-powered web application designed to support IB Theory of Knowledge teachers with formative and summative assessment of student TOK Exhibitions.

The suite includes three integrated tools: a full exhibition grader that runs parallel AI assessments and returns a median score for reliability; a single object grader for scaffolded formative feedback during drafting; and a paragraph-level annotator that places examiner-style comments alongside student text.

Grading is calibrated against 18 official IB examiner-marked anchor exhibitions, with rubric criteria, band descriptors, and key grade distinctions encoded directly into the system. Each assessment returns a score, examiner verdict, per-object breakdown, and teacher commentary in both third-person and student-facing formats. An optional integrity checker flags potential AI-authorship signals for teacher review.

Conceived and directed by an active IB examiner and DP coordinator. Built using Claude as a development tool.

BioSkin Aesthetics

Online course through Matrix LMS

The client needed a course and landing page with their branding (colors, images, style) to inform their customers of their products, research, and uses. The course uses video as input, with a short quiz at the end of each module to unlock the next. A new LMS/CMS gives the client seamless interaction with their parent company.
