About Daniel Scott

AI Systems and Software Engineer and Technical Training Facilitator.

Daniel Scott

I'm an AI Systems and Software Engineer and Technical Training Facilitator. I learn in public, sharing what I'm experimenting with and implementing as I go. I also help tech professionals level up by making software and AI-enabled solutions accessible, with a focus on building agentic workflows.

I've been teaching since 2017 and have trained 1000+ professionals. Clear, hands-on, and focused on what ships. If you're a company hiring for training, facilitation, or AI systems work, I'm open to that conversation too.

Originally from Fort Worth, TX, I earned a Bachelor's degree in Business Science with a concentration in Finance. After a decade in the financial industry, I saw software automation reshaping the work. I taught myself software development over two years while finishing my career in finance. That same instinct (recognizing where technology is heading and moving toward it early) now drives the focus on agentic AI workflows. Today I also serve as a Senior Lead Technical Trainer at General Assembly, where I was recognized as a Distinguished Faculty Member.
