Alexander Edelman

Learning experience designer in corporate L&D. I build e-learning that changes how people work — and AI tools that make it faster to create.

My latest workLet's chat

Learning Technology & L&D Lead

L&D professional with nearly 8 years across a course-development vendor, Yandex Practicum and corporate L&D at Sber. I handle training requests end to end — from what the business actually needs to a published course — and over the past year I’ve built AI pipelines that took over most of the production we used to buy from vendors.
