An experiment using Claude to code an animated 3D visual scene keyed to music. It features me at the pipe organ in the Organ Hall of my steampunk lab, with the performance brought to life through moving hands, working pedals and glowing pipes. I open with Bach's Little Fugue in G minor (BWV 578), one of my favorites. Explore the scene, change the organ's sound, and bring your own music—I'm taking requests in the form of MIDI files!

Meet Elara, my experimental AI designed to help you master targeted selection interviews! As your personal tutor, she guides you through key strategies with real-time feedback in an engaging, simulated interview. Elara blends cutting-edge tech with practical support, making interview prep efficient and stress-free. (Try pasting the job description for a more targeted experience.)

GRID FIRE is both an experiment in AI-assisted code generation and a retirement gift. Inspired by years of cooperative war games—always together against the computer—it carries that tradition into a browser-based artillery duel. Adjust elevation, rotation and power; blast through destructible brick defenses; unlock specialized rounds in the Shue Shop; and endure Colonel Shue's tactical advice, congratulations and abuse when your aim goes sideways.

A retro-futurist racing experiment built around a custom vector-graphics system and AI-assisted code generation with Claude. Vector Grand Prix explores how far an old-school wireframe aesthetic can be pushed in a modern browser, with speed, lap timing, opponents, roadside scenery and arcade game logic generated and refined through an iterative human-and-AI development process.

A companion experiment in procedural vector graphics and AI-generated browser code. Vector Runner turns running motion into an arcade system of cadence, pace, distance, obstacles and pickups, using a stripped-down glowing wireframe world. Like Vector Grand Prix, it was developed as a hands-on test of Claude as an AI coding partner rather than from a conventional game engine or prebuilt graphics framework.

What if AI did more than help us finish today's work? Ambient Mentorship explores a model in which an AI assistant also helps develop the person using it—connecting everyday work, structured learning, reflection and reinforcement into a continuous development loop. The paper proposes an architecture for persistent AI mentorship built around learner-defined goals, a living model of capability, contextual learning, and explicit trust and privacy boundaries.

Learn how to effectively use PowerPoint for training purposes. I put this procedure together to allow non-technical people with basic tools the ability to create video microlearnings. It is excellent for knowledge management purposes. This video was made using the process it describes.

Explore a VR training example using Adobe Captivate. I created this to experiment with integrating VR as well as interactive AI in Captivate. Click the computer on the desk to open an AI-driven terminal that knows my resume inside and out!

This is a capabilities explainer video I created for a plumbing company.

Experiment with AI-generated training materials using ADDIE.

This is a quick microlearning example I created as a demonstration for Articulate 360.
