Summary
Carolina Powers is a Senior Creative Technologist with 11 years of experience blending software engineering, learning design, and developer tooling to create hands-on educational experiences. She has driven interactive learning products at Pluralsight—from Projects and Interactive Courses to multi-content Integrated Learning Experiences—while building the authoring tools that make them scalable and consistent. Her background in education and classroom teaching informs a user-centered approach to feedback, assessment, and mental models, enabling her to translate complex technologies into approachable learning flows. Practically minded, she prototypes automation and AI-assisted workflows (including an in-progress Model Context Protocol server) to automate lab creation, scaffold multi-language projects, and enforce content standards. Known for pragmatic full‑stack work—React/TypeScript front ends, Node.js back ends, Dockerized language environments, and AST-based tooling—she thrives at the intersection of engineering, pedagogy, and AI-driven product innovation.
