Create The Edge Academy

The strongest primary evidence that curriculum and systems thinking became a functional digital learning environment: a live, public platform rather than a slide deck or a single-file prototype.

Verified public state

Observed August 30, 2026 and link-tested again August 31, 2026. The site identifies itself as “Create The Edge Academy · 2026 Edition” and displays a 14-module architecture with 13 modules marked live, extensive topic navigation, 200+ reference terms, assessments, reference material, and calculation tools.

Live platform: create-the-edge.netlify.app (opens in a new tab) — external project site, public, no sign-in required.

My contribution

Learning design: Module architecture, sequencing, learning objectives, assessment design, and reference structure.
Experience design: Navigation model, information hierarchy, and the interaction patterns that make a large reference set usable.
Implementation: Hands-on build and iteration of the platform itself.

Attribution and limits

Not my claim: The platform's displayed '60+ years of industry expertise' describes the subject-matter source domain, not my personal experience. Source-domain expertise and learning-system design are treated as separate claims.
Backup artifact: A portable single-file Academy portfolio export exists as a controlled backup artifact. It is not a substitute for the live platform and is not published here.
Pre-launch requirement: Before any public portfolio launch, the live site is to be re-scanned for confidential names, rates, client information, proprietary examples, internal procedures, and unsupported outcome claims.
