Technical Skills: JavaScript extensions, xAPI, cmi5, LMS integration, SCORM, and Blender.

Innovation: Experience with AI-powered learning solutions, vibe coding, and emerging digital learning technologies.

Accessibility: Ensure ADA compliance, closed captioning, and compatibility with LMS and knowledge management systems.
