AI-assisted development that survives production
Specifications, planning, context, evaluation, review and delivery gates. The hard part is not getting an agent to write code; it is stopping it from quietly building the wrong thing.
Hands-on training · English / Spanish
The course assumes smart people and limited time. We build the real thing, inspect what the tools did and keep enough room for the inevitable live-demo surprise.

Each programme is adapted to the codebase, constraints and experience already in the room.
01 · Engineering
Specifications, planning, context, evaluation, review and delivery gates. The hard part is not getting an agent to write code; it is stopping it from quietly building the wrong thing.
02 · Agents
Tool design, memory, schedules, permissions, escalation and human approval. Participants build an agent whose output can be inspected instead of merely admired.
03 · Infrastructure
Model selection, quantisation, GPUs, RAG, speech, images, observability, privacy and cost. Bigger models are welcome when they earn the hardware.
04 · Web
WebGPU, built-in AI, Project Fugu, installability and the modern browser as an application platform. A workshop built around things participants can run in the tab.
02 / Formats
A focused session can establish the model. A longer engagement can change how a team works on Monday.
A sharp shared model for leaders and engineering teams, followed by difficult questions.
One concrete system, built and inspected together with exercises that survive outside the slides.
More build time, failure analysis and adaptation to the team’s own architecture and constraints.
Practice between sessions, feedback on real work and enough repetition for a new workflow to stick.
03 / Evidence
I started teaching cloud computing at Illinois Tech in 2010. The subjects have changed; the need to make them concrete has not.
Cloud computing and Java games; forty students with an excellent instinct for vague explanations.
Courses and workshops across the evolution of the modern Web.
Public workshops in programming, Blender and Unity for children and families during lockdown.
Agent workshops, local AI, browser AI and a three-city Build with AI road trip.
