Instructional Design/Curriculum Development
Pioneering transformative learning experiences through computational neuroscience, behavioral AI, and multidisciplinary knowledge integration
2024 - Present
Designed a curriculum blending Shakespearean rhetoric with AI tools to teach justice professionals restorative narrative techniques, replacing punitive language with a healing architecture.
2024 - Present
This curriculum is designed to transform passive AI users into active, ethical auditors of artificial intelligence systems in the criminal justice sector. It utilizes the REFLECTING Framework and hands-on tool practice (e.g., using Claude AI for case analysis) to provide the technical literacy and practical skills needed to detect inherent algorithmic biases.
2024 - Present
Created curriculum teaching robust, scalable AI systems architecture, covering enterprise bot design, API-first microservices, immutable data lineage, and comprehensive security patterns.
2024 - Present
Designed curriculum teaching a Renaissance Connection Approach for cross-domain synthesis, enabling innovation by applying insights from disparate fields to solve complex problems.
Core Competencies
A versatile skill set at the intersection of technology, education, and leadership.
Neuroplasticity-Driven Learning Architectures
Designing and implementing adaptive curriculum frameworks based on cognitive science. Focuses on Adaptive Pacing, Spaced Repetition, and Trauma-Informed Design to maximize learner retention and real-world application.
Enterprise System & Semantic Bridges
Expertise in building robust, scalable enterprise systems and AI architecture. This includes designing Semantic Bridges—data models that integrate disparate knowledge domains—used in high-stakes projects like the Positive Justice Modules.
Data-Driven Analysis & Document Services
Applying deep systematic analysis skills to legal and financial data. Expertise includes developing analysis platforms and providing document services based on thorough evidence review and pattern recognition.
Technical Projects
Designing and building robust, scalable, and data-driven systems.
Adaptive Data Architecture for Multi-Domain Knowledge Integration
Designed and implemented a proprietary architectural framework that integrates disparate knowledge domains through structured data modeling, ensuring data integrity and contextual coherence across complex, multidisciplinary systems.
- Created adaptive data models mapping relationships between distinct conceptual domains.
- Established systematic protocols for maintaining semantic consistency during domain translation.
- Applied the framework to the Positive Justice Modules curriculum, mapping legal concepts to psychological and restorative narrative techniques.
- Enabled dynamic content adjustment based on learner cognitive state and progress patterns.
Domain-Specific LLM Configuration for Code Quality Enforcement
Architected a specialized LLM agent configuration to enforce enterprise-grade Python development standards through structured, multi-dimensional code analysis.
- Designed a 5-part analytical framework: Executive Summary, Detailed Analysis, Recommendations, Implementation Examples, and Follow-up Considerations.
- Mandated enforcement of SOLID principles, DRY methodology, and PEP 8/484 compliance.
- Implemented security-first evaluation protocols and performance optimization requirements.
- Validated across 10+ Python specialization domains, including MLOps, async web development, and data engineering.
Full-Stack Document Analysis System with Vector Search
Developed a production-ready document analysis system utilizing Claude AI with an enterprise-grade architecture, providing a self-hostable alternative to commercial solutions.
- Built a FastAPI backend with async processing, Qdrant vector database, and Redis caching.
- Implemented multi-format document ingestion (PDF, URL, YouTube transcripts).
- Created multiple analysis modes (comprehensive, summary, comparative, technical).
- Developed a Python client SDK with complete API documentation and configured production deployment with Docker Compose.
Evidence Architecture System for Complex Legal Documentation
Developed a data-mapping and document-structuring architecture for organizing complex legal evidence into court-ready submissions, validated through direct application in Colorado Family Court proceedings.
- Built a systematic evidence organization and cross-referencing system.
- Implemented timeline reconstruction from fragmented records with source attribution.
- Created inconsistency detection across multiple document sources.
- Successfully structured 200+ pages of contradictory communications into coherent legal arguments.
Services
From pro se advocacy to forensic analysis, we've got you covered.
PRO SE Advocacy Document Services
Dedicated free service for individuals navigating the complexities of Colorado Family Court and aggressive legal enforcement. This assistance is powered by the Unified Litigation Engine (ULE)—a data-mapping and document-structuring architecture I developed out of necessity.
- We help you organize and structure your evidence into court-ready documents, ensuring your information is presented clearly and logically. The ULE was rigorously "beta-tested" through my own case.
Forensic Intelligence Service
A paid, data-driven service that uses proprietary software (developed by me) to perform forensic financial analysis. We focus on identifying anomalies, tracing asset lineage, and mapping complex financial patterns.
- This service is strictly for document preparation and evidence-based data analysis. It is designed to prepare you with definitive, organized information before you consult a qualified Tax Expert or CPA.
I am NOT a qualified Tax Expert.
