# Dr. Jason Torres **EdTech strategist · Learning designer · Operations and Systems designer · Transformational leader · Instructor and Facilitator · Community builder · Digital storyteller · genAI student and integrator** ## Welcome to my site! ![[HS-CIRCLE-JT-75.png|right|300]] Welcome and I am glad that you found me. I am an educational technology strategist, instructional/learning designer, instructor, and systems architect. I have a passion for interdisciplinary work and taking on novel learning problems that need help identifying the right solution. Over my career, I have taught K-12 and undergraduate students, been an Instructional Designer for start-up learning initiatives at large organizations, operated the full lifecycle of corporate L&D finance curriculum, transformed learning design teams and systems, and I brought to life new digital learning and AI up-skilling initiatives. Disciplinary content I've worked the most with have been engineering, education, economics, finance, law, and digital technology (e.g. software). I started my graduate studies and career with a simple curiosity in how to design the most effective learning systems with technology. Forward to late-2022 and present day, I'm not surprised by any of the changes and fears brought by generative Artificial Intelligence (genAI). While I'm a bit cautious to it, I'm more excited by the possibilities with the technology and bolstered by my previous work helping to move this forward in higher-education. It feels a bit like the 1990's again and an interesting time to live in! > [!check]+ Seeking a new chapter > After 5 years with The George Washington University as the *Director of Strategic Digital Learning Initiatives*, **I am actively seeking the next chapter**. In early Summer 2025, my position was eliminated as part of a reorganization among the broader political upheaval and uncertainties in higher-education. It happened rapidly, but not without total surprise given directives I was aware of to cut the budget across the university. So, it's an open road for me and I'm looking for/towards the next professional chapter.
