About
Scott Parker
Over the course of my career, I’ve built the things people learn from, always using the technology of the moment: educational games; an early avatar-based online community; rich media; mobile-first sales training for a global channel at Apple; a company-wide learning program at Slack; a hiring-pipeline academy and an enterprise learning platform at SoftwareOne; and now AI systems for learning and content, built under a method I documented so it can be repeated.
I’m a learning strategist and AI consultant based in Richmond, California, and I’m looking for a senior role where instructional-design depth and hands-on AI work count together rather than separately.
