Is your organisation still training staff on PowerPoint slides or outdated manuals? There is a better way — and I can build it for you.
I am a Senior eLearning Developer with 15+ years of experience designing and building courses that actually change behaviour on the job. I specialise in Articulate Rise and Articulate Storyline — the industry standard tools trusted by L&D teams worldwide.
My background is in high-stakes corporate training environments where quality, accuracy, and learner engagement are non-negotiable. I bring that same standard to every project on Upwork — whether it is a 10-minute onboarding module or a full compliance course suite.
What I build for clients:
→ Interactive eLearning courses in Articulate Rise and Storyline
→ SCORM / xAPI compliant modules ready for any LMS
→ Scenario-based and branching learning experiences
→ Onboarding, compliance, soft skills, and hospitality training
→ Custom Articulate templates for L&D teams
→ AI-enhanced courses using HeyGen avatars and modern tools
My process is straightforward: I review your content and objectives, build a clean storyboard for your approval, develop the course with full interaction and visual polish, and deliver SCORM-ready files with two rounds of revisions included.
I am Top Rated on Upwork because I deliver what I promise — on time, to a high standard, with clear communication throughout.
If you need an eLearning course built properly — message me. I respond within a few hours and can start quickly.

I have worked as an AI trainer for the past year, including data verification, translation, annotation, and voiceover recordings.
Clinical Documentation Reviewer and EHR.
With a robust background as an Instructional Designer, Medical Writer, Public Health Specialist, and Epidemiologist, I bring a comprehensive skill set and hands-on experience necessary for making a significant contribution to the educational and health communication objectives of your organization.
My career is marked by a proven track record of developing engaging content, designing effective learning modules, and conducting thorough public health research. My expertise in instructional design is demonstrated through my adept use of e-learning platforms like Rise 360 and Microsoft 360, and authoring tools such as Storyline.

LiveKit, WebRTC, SIP/VoIP, Electron, AI, video, audio, real-time software development at scale. 600M+ AI call minutes a month (Nucleus). $10M+ ARR EdTech (BrainCert). Enterprise VMS surveillance for 50,000 users (VALT). 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗣𝗥𝗗 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀, 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗲 𝗿𝗼𝗼𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗿 ~𝟱𝟬𝗵 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 - 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗲𝘅𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀.
I'm the CEO of Fora Soft, and personally architect every project. You get an owner accountable for delivery and senior judgment from day one, not a junior learning WebRTC on your budget.
⚠️ DM or invite me - I respond within 2 hours.
WHAT I'VE BUILT (selected):
→ SpeedSpace (LiveKit) - remote video production on LiveKit, WebRTC, and FFmpeg. Makes content for Netflix, HBO, and Electronic Arts. Shown at Paris Fashion Week.
→ Nucleus .com (SIP/VoIP) - WebRTC and SIP business phone system for the Canadian telecom Fibernetics. 600M+ call minutes a month, 5,000+ businesses, AI voice agents, SOC II, HIPAA.
→ FRP.live (Electron) - desktop and AI music platform. 720,000+ licensed tracks from Sony, Universal, and Virgin. Used by 12,000+ DJs.
→ VocalViews .com (WebRTC) - research platform with 1M+ participants, used by Samsung, McDonald's, Google, Netflix, TikTok, Adobe.
→ Tyxit .com (Electron, audio) - Electron desktop app for sub-30ms live music. Performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival. $1.3M raised, partnered with Karmine Corp.
→ VALT ipivs .com (Wowza, WebRTC) - video recording, streaming, surveillance SaaS platform. 770+ US organizations, 2,500 IP cameras, 50K+ users. From $1M revenue in the launch year to $9.7M now. 12 years’ partnership.
→ Live Eye (Electron) - AI retail surveillance. 10K+ locations, $5M+ fraud prevented.
→ BrainCert .com - the first HTML5 + WebRTC virtual classroom. 100K+ customers, 500M+ classroom mins.
→ Sprii - €365M+ in live commerce sales. 72K+ live events.
→ StreamLayer - interactive sports overlays, $14.1M raised. NBC, CBS, Red Bull, Chelsea FC.
PROBLEMS I SOLVE (with proof from real projects):
• When third-party SaaS gets too expensive at scale: replaced GoogleDocs, Zoom and Discord with a custom LiveKit platform, 2,000 students in one live class (Scholarly: 15,000+ users)
• Sub-30ms latency for live music (Tyxit, Electron app: Montreux Jazz)
• SIP/VoIP calling at scale: WebRTC-to-SIP bridges, FreeSWITCH, Telnyx (Nucleus, 5K+ businesses)
• AI surveillance on Electron desktop apps: $5M+ fraud prevented across 10K+ locations (Live Eye)
• AI voice agents processing 600M+ call min/mo (Nucleus)
• Secure video conferencing at enterprise scale: up to 500 participants, AES-256 (iMind: used by PwC and national telecoms)
• Computer vision: 99.5% face recognition, 500K+ plates/day (Mindbox .ai)
• Live commerce at €365M+ sales (Sprii: 72K+ events, 3K+ brands)
• Sports tech: Premier League (Vokalo), NBC/CBS/Red Bull (StreamLayer, $14.1M raised)
SPEC-FIRST AGENTIC AI:
I work spec-first, not vibe-first. As CEO and architect, I write the full spec and architecture before any code. Then my senior team drives AI agents against strict guardrails to build production-grade systems. You get AI speed with the stability of a senior team.
TECH I WORK WITH DAILY:
◆ Real-time, video, and audio: WebRTC, LiveKit, MediaSoup, MOQ, Ant, Kurento, Janus, Jitsi, Agora, FFmpeg, GStreamer, Wowza, HLS/DASH, RTMP/RTSP
◆ VoIP and telecom: SIP, FreeSWITCH, Telnyx, Twilio, Vonage
◆ Backend: Node.js, NestJS, Python, Go, PHP, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis
◆ Frontend and desktop: Electron, React, Next.js, Vue, Angular, JavaScript, TypeScript
◆ AI/ML: OpenAI API, Whisper, Deepgram, Speechmatics, Amazon Polly, TensorFlow, PyTorch, OpenCV
◆ Mobile: React Native, Flutter, Swift, Kotlin
◆ Infra: AWS, GCP, Azure, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD
WHO I HELP:
• Startups building their first video MVP
• Scale-ups hitting WebRTC performance walls
• Enterprises needing HIPAA/SOC2 video
HOW I WORK:
1. 30-min call – assess your project honestly (including if we're NOT the right fit)
2. Written architecture + estimate within 24 hours
3. Dedicated team assigned within 1 week
4. I stay involved throughout – architecture reviews, tech decisions, escalations
WAYS TO ENGAGE: build from scratch, drop in on the hard WebRTC/LiveKit/SIP/Electron modules, or rescue a stalled build.
WHY FORA SOFT: 100% JSS, $10M+ earned, 925 jobs, 403K+ hours, 400+ clients across 17+ countries, 20 years in video, audio, and real-time software, Top WebRTC Developer 2022 and Top Telecom Developer 2024, 1 of 400 developers passes our internal selection.
CLIENT FEEDBACK: "We've been working together for 10 years and continue. Fora Soft planned and built our entire video SaaS from scratch across web, iOS and Android." - Dustin, CTO @ VALT (50k users, 770 organizations, 2,500 IP cameras)

If your SaaS platform, software product, mobile app, or startup solution is difficult to explain in the first 30 seconds, you're likely losing potential customers, investors, and users before they fully understand your value.

The right Explainer Video helps potential customers understand your solution faster, while an engaging Animated Video keeps them interested and motivated to take action.
