Lora Brinkman

Welcome

I'm a technology leader with 20+ years of experience designing, developing, and leading business applications that support higher education, learning, and complex organizational operations.

My career began in software development, but over time my role evolved beyond writing code. Today, I partner with stakeholders to understand business challenges, translate requirements into technical solutions, and lead application initiatives from planning and development through deployment and ongoing support. I enjoy simplifying complex processes, improving workflows, and building systems that make people's jobs easier.

My passion for helping people learn led me to complete a Master of Science in Learning Technologies & Design in 2026. Whether I'm developing enterprise applications, designing learning experiences, or creating educational content for my YouTube community, I'm driven by the same goal: using technology to help people work, learn, and create more effectively.

What I Do

💻 Application Development & Technical Leadership

I lead the design, development, and continuous improvement of business applications that support higher education and organizational operations. My work spans the full application lifecycle—from business analysis and solution design through development, testing, deployment, and production support. I enjoy partnering with stakeholders, simplifying complex processes, and building applications that make people's work easier.

🔗 Systems Integration & Business Analysis

I specialize in connecting systems, data, and people. Whether integrating enterprise applications, improving workflows, or translating business needs into technical solutions, I focus on creating reliable, scalable systems that improve efficiency and support informed decision-making.

🎓 Learning Technologies & Creative Education

My passion for technology extends into how people learn. Through my graduate work in Learning Technologies & Design and my creative work as an educator and content creator, I design learning experiences that are practical, engaging, and accessible. Whether supporting online learning, creating educational content, or building tools that help others succeed, my goal is always the same: helping people learn with confidence.

How I Work

I'm at my best when I'm bringing structure to complex technology initiatives.

I enjoy understanding how systems, people, and processes fit together, then designing solutions that make work simpler and more effective. Whether I'm working with developers, business stakeholders, or end users, I focus on keeping communication clear, priorities aligned, and projects moving forward.

I believe the best technology isn't just technically sound—it's intuitive, maintainable, and genuinely useful to the people who depend on it.

I'm always interested in connecting with people who are passionate about technology, learning, and creative problem-solving.
