HELLO, I’M CORY

LEARNING TECHNOLOGY AND IMPLEMENTATION.

I work acrossLearning Tech

I am an Implementation Consultant at Aptem, with earlier eLearning development experience at Relish Learning. I help clients use learning and employability platforms, understand their data, and turn requirements into practical solutions.

My background combines Articulate Storyline and SCORM, Power Query and OData reporting, UX, and teaching. I bring technical problem-solving and clear guidance to the way people learn and use software.

LEARNING TECHNOLOGY

PLATFORMS, CONTENT, AND LEARNER EXPERIENCE.

I connect current platform implementation at Aptem with eLearning development at Relish Learning, classroom teaching, and SaaS user experience.

Learning platforms at Aptem

I support client implementation, build Power Query and OData reports, investigate data issues, and document solutions for handover.

eLearning at Relish Learning

I built SCORM-compliant learning packages with Articulate Storyline and custom code, working with clients including Sainsbury’s, EY, and SDL.

Learner support and guidance

Teaching developed my ability to explain technical tasks, create step-by-step resources, and support people with different learning needs.

User experience and adoption

At FourJaw, I used discovery and usability work to improve onboarding and workflows, collaborating with product and engineering on practical changes.

ABOUT

CONNECTING LEARNING AND TECHNOLOGY.

I am an Implementation Consultant at Aptem, supporting clients with learning and employability platforms. My work includes understanding requirements, building reports with Power Query and OData, investigating data issues, and documenting solutions so others can maintain them.

At Relish Learning, I developed SCORM-compliant eLearning in Articulate Storyline and custom code. I worked with clients to understand learning objectives and turn complex subjects into structured digital content, with projects for Sainsbury’s, EY, and SDL.

Teaching gave me direct experience of how people learn, where instructions become unclear, and how to adapt support for different needs. I created step-by-step resources and video walkthroughs, and worked with assessment and evidence requirements.

My earlier UX and software development roles at FourJaw, Databowl, and SoloProtect add practical experience of onboarding, usability, and technical delivery. I use that background to connect platform capabilities with what learners, users, and stakeholders need.

Principles

These are the principles I bring to onboarding, implementation, and workflow design.

Clarity before cleverness

Design for real behaviour, not ideal users

Systems that scale

Accessibility from the start

CASE STUDIES

SELECTED CASE STUDIES.

Examples of improving onboarding, usability, and operational workflows. These projects underpin how I approach learning platforms and user adoption.
