I build the systems.
I teach.

20+ years across IT and instructional design — Automation and database systems on one side, eLearning courses and in-person programs on the other. Loupetron is where those two practices meet.

About

Where systems engineering meets learning science.

I started in IT infrastructure at Fanshawe College in 2000 — networking, servers, databases. Teaching part-time for sixteen of those years surfaced a second thread: designing experiences that make complex ideas stick.

At 1Password, the two converged. I've shipped 50+ courses, run a monthly webinar series for 200+ people, and led a leadership program for 110+ managers — while automating the workflow behind all of it with Python, Google Apps Script, and AI. That's my way of doing things: the strategist who writes the proposal in the morning and ships the automation by afternoon.

Strategic Designer

Needs analysis, curriculum architecture, and leadership programs built for measurable outcomes — not just content delivery.

Technical Builder

Systems automation, AI/LLM workflows, and database design. I don't just plan the system — I build it.

Forest & the Trees

The rare ability to hold the organizational vision while engineering the systems that execute it.

Skills & Tools

Two disciplines, one practice.

Most people specialize in one side. I built a career at the intersection.
