Building Developer Education at Postman
Postman is the world's leading API platform, used by millions of developers to design, build, test, and document APIs. As part of the Learning & Education team, I developed interactive eLearning content, reusable Skilljar widget components, and full course modules covering emerging topics in the API ecosystem.
The work spans from self-contained interactive lesson pages to embeddable Skilljar content fragments, all built to Postman's design system using custom HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript.
Meet Agent Mode
A hands-on course published on Postman Academy that teaches developers how to modernize a legacy API using Postman Agent Mode. Students follow a narrative-driven journey — transforming an undocumented, untested payments API into a production-ready service with automated testing, comprehensive documentation, and CI/CD integration.
The course is backed by a purpose-built demo API (PostFinancial Payments API) — a fictional Node.js/Express/TypeScript service with 20+ endpoints across payments, refunds, customers, and webhooks — giving students a realistic codebase to work against.
Skilljar Widget Component Library
Content generation cycles were taking too long, so I built a reusable component library first — a curated set of 12 interactive and 10 static widgets for Postman's Skilljar LMS. With the system in place, I could generate full courses using clever prompts and agentic workflows in a fraction of the original time.

An Introduction to API Testing
Three foundational Skilljar lesson modules covering API testing concepts, types, and automation basics.
About These Samples
All course content and components were developed as original work and live in Skilljar, except for the PostFinancial Payments API which is a purpose-built demo hosted on GitHub.
