Danny Parks is a 21-year-old tech entrepreneur with a decade of coding experience and closing on half of that in consulting experience. As the founder of oneParks, his technology consulting firm helps founders and leaders of startup and midsize companies leverage technology to grow their businesses.
Parks’ journey to success has been an inspiring one, driven by a deep-rooted passion for technology and a genuine passion for helping others. He first began learning to code in 6th grade, motivated to impress a girl who had captured his heart. While his initial intention was to win her over with his technological prowess, he quickly discovered a genuine love for coding and the endless possibilities it offered. From that moment on, he was hooked, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to his newfound passion.
At the age of 20, Danny made a bold move to leave college in Chicago with his best friend to start a new life in San Diego. Since arriving nine months ago, he has been living in Airbnbs and traveling from one location to another. His nomadic lifestyle allows him to fully immerse himself in his work and community involvement, and he enjoys the freedom and flexibility that it provides.
Danny’s goal is to help innovative entrepreneurs and companies take advantage of technology and AI for their businesses. He believes that many founders struggle with fully utilizing technology to their advantage, and wants to change that. He aims to provide a tailored approach to technology consulting focused on each client’s specific needs and unique business models. Unlike most technology consulting firms, Danny’s company develops most of their web applications and sites using their own web development platform called Quelop. They customize every instance of the platform to each client’s needs.
His approach to working with clients is not just transactional, but rather focused on building strategic partnerships. He believes in fostering long-term relationships where he can continue to support the growth and innovation of his clients.
In addition to his consulting services, Danny also offers his clients access to his own business network, providing valuable connections and resources to help them succeed. He takes a proactive approach to advising his clients, constantly brainstorming new ideas and strategies to help them stay ahead of the curve.
Beyond his work at oneParks, Danny is deeply involved in the entrepreneurial community, serving as the co-founder of Barrier Battles, an eCommerce board game company, and participating in Teen Innovators, a teen mentorship program. His passion for technology and entrepreneurship has led him to pursue various avenues of innovation and support for others.
Danny’s expertise in technology and passion for helping others has been a driving force behind his success. His extensive experience in digital consulting has allowed him to adapt and refine his approach to meet the unique needs of startup and midsize companies. Moreover, his active involvement in the community, including participation in local tech events and volunteering his time to mentor young entrepreneurs, has further cemented his position as a valuable resource for those seeking guidance in the industry.
Danny’s story is not just one of success but also one of inspiration. He shows that age is not a barrier to success and that passion, hard work, and dedication can take you a long way. He represents a role model for young entrepreneurs and shows that with the right mindset, anything is possible.
In the next few years, Danny wants oneParks and their technology and services to be instrumental to the next generation of entrepreneurs and businesses. He believes that technology is the future of business and companies that fully leverage technology will have a competitive advantage over those that don’t. Moreover, he intends on expanding his community involvement and help the next generation of entrepreneurs in discovering their passions and paths to success.
