About us

Practitioners who build with AI every day.

We are not trainers: we are people who build real products with AI every day and teach only what we apply. What you see in our training comes from our day-to-day work, not from a syllabus.

    Harness · AI infrastructure

    If it doesn't scale or can't be maintained, it's not worth it.

    10+ years as an SRE/DevOps and backend engineer at Voicemod, Landbot and other startups — now an independent AI & DevOps consultant.

    • Leads the technical side of the Claude Code programs — harness engineering and autonomous agents in CI (PR reviews, overnight repository audits) that he runs daily on his own projects.
    • Trains teams at startups and established companies in agentic development: what he teaches in the classroom is what he ships in his repos that same week.
    • CTO of Roostwood: an LLM copilot embedded in 3D design software — the model emits structured changes and the geometry regenerates deterministically. AI that reaches production and stays there.
    • AI and backend engineer at Button: backend and cloud infrastructure from scratch to Google Play and the App Store, with ML in production on small models — chosen for cost, not for hype.
    • Previously an SRE and DevOps engineer at Voicemod and Landbot: infrastructure, CI/CD and observability for products with millions of users. He knows where the money hides in a cloud bill.
