Lucchesi

I turn complex technology and organizational priorities into practical products and learning experiences people can use.

Product-minded learning leader combining AI-assisted workflow design, adult learning, creative production, stakeholder partnership, and disciplined execution. I build with the user in mind, translate complexity into clarity, and improve experiences through evidence—not assumption.

The throughline
I build the bridge between complex ideas and confident action.

For more than two decades, my work has centered on a practical question: what must people understand, experience, and practice to perform differently?

That question has guided university curricula, AI-enabled product development, global digital media, leadership programs, workshops, video learning, and commercial partnerships. Across every setting, I begin with real needs, define useful outcomes, create the clearest path forward, and use feedback to improve what comes next.

I am equally comfortable shaping a vision, working through ambiguity, coaching collaborators, producing the deliverable, and explaining the result to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

A practical operating system

From need to measurable performance.

Product development and learning design share the same discipline: understand the user, define the right problem, build intentionally, and keep improving.

1

Discover

Listen to users and stakeholders, assess needs, identify friction, and separate symptoms from the real performance problem.

2

Define

Translate business goals and technical possibilities into clear outcomes, requirements, priorities, and an actionable roadmap.

3

Build & Launch

Create learner-centered solutions across digital, instructor-led, video, job-aid, and AI-assisted formats—then manage delivery.

4

Measure & Improve

Use participation, behavior, performance, user feedback, and operational data to refine both the experience and the system.

Selected evidence

Strategy that becomes something real.

A portfolio spanning AI product thinking, scalable learning, creative operations, stakeholder leadership, and behavior-focused design.

AI Product Development

EvidenceOS: turning a difficult academic workflow into a guided product experience

Founder and product lead for an AI-assisted research platform in development for educators, students, and researchers.

  • Defined the user problem, core workflow, product logic, and practical value proposition.
  • Designed AI-assisted steps for planning literature reviews, organizing evidence, synthesizing findings, and preparing publication-ready work.
  • Balances automation with human judgment, transparency, and responsible use.
  • Translates research complexity into clear, structured actions for non-technical users.
Scalable Learning & Media

HallyuBack: a decade-long learning and content operation

Built and operated two global channels by combining audience insight, production systems, storytelling, and continuous experimentation.

  • Directed 2,500+ end-to-end content cycles and personally edited approximately 99%.

  • Built a performance-based video assessment for roughly 140 learners with nearly 100% participation.
  • Established unscripted communication as the standard, then used practice, feedback, recognition, and reflection to build confidence.
  • Develops learning for adult and international audiences across classroom, workshop, video, and digital formats.
Leadership & Delivery

Multidisciplinary production under real constraints
