There's a role in AI where demand grew over 1,000% in a single year — and almost nobody qualifies. It's called the forward-deployed engineer. Get the free Starter Kit and see exactly how to become one.

Chapter 1 of the field guide — the clearest explanation of the "last mile," the gap between a demo everyone loves and a system a business actually runs on. It's where almost every AI project quietly dies, and it's never the model's fault.
The exact prompts a forward-deployed engineer uses at each stage — Discover, Scope, Build, Validate, Go-Live, Operate — plus the one for turning a deployment into a paid pilot. Swap in your specifics and go.
The Starter Kit ends where the full field guide begins — the complete six-stage method that takes any AI idea and walks it all the way to "deployed."
Become the person companies are desperate for — the one who gets AI out of the demo and into production.
You don't need a CS degree. You need the moves. Build the thing you've been putting off.
Hand the boring 80% to AI and keep the human 20% — the right way, with a system that actually holds up.
The complete operator's field guide — the six-stage method, industry playbooks, the operator's stack, a 447-term glossary, and a full chapter on getting paid.
“Written by an operator who, as a non-technical founder, used AI tooling to build a working system independently estimated at over $1M in replacement cost.”
