AI Workshops for Engineering Teams
Your team ships with AI. I show them how.
I built the AI and Copilot workshops for Microsoft's VS Code team. Now I run them for engineering teams everywhere: two days inside your codebase, learning how to use Claude Code and agentic workflows without wrecking the thing you ship. No hype. No slides about "the future." Just work that ships.
Nobody buys "consulting." You buy your team getting good at this, fast, from someone who has done it at scale. Here's exactly what that looks like and exactly what it costs.
Two days of hands-on work with Claude Code and agentic workflows, in the code your team actually ships. This is the workshop I built and ran for Microsoft's VS Code team, adapted to your stack and your problems.
Your team walks out with:
Not sure your team is ready? Spend a half day with me and find out before you commit to anything bigger.
What you get:
The price on this page is the price on the proposal. No "it depends," no discovery-call markup. Fixed, public, boring.
Tell me about your team and what you ship. I answer everything myself, usually within a day.
One 30-minute call: dates, on-site or remote, which codebase we work in, and what success looks like for your team.
Two days, hands-on, in your code. Every engineer leaves with working agentic workflows and the judgment to use them well.
Your team's seats in The AI Pro keep the questions flowing and the momentum going after I'm gone. No cliff, no "good luck out there."
I spent three years on the VS Code team at Microsoft, where I built the AI and Copilot workshops and curriculum that taught the team behind the tools your engineers already use. Three more years helping enterprise teams get serious about PostgreSQL. Before that, I founded Tekpub, a developer screencast company that Pluralsight thought was worth acquiring.
I wrote The Imposter's Handbook because I'm largely self-taught and felt the weight of not knowing things I felt I should. Thirty thousand other developers apparently felt the same way.
Now I do one thing: I help engineering teams build AI as a capability, not evaluate it as a product. There's a real difference, and I've seen both sides of it.
30,000+ copies sold. Written for curious developers who want to understand the fundamentals without the academic gatekeeping.
A CS primer for self-taught developers. Algorithms, data structures, computation theory, databases, design patterns, and more. The book that started it all.

Co-hosted with Scott Hanselman. Stories about the human side of software, from getting fired to competitive drive to why we aren't on Mars yet.
If you're a VP of Engineering or CTO trying to figure out what your team should actually do with AI (not the hype, the reality) let's talk. Whether it's a workshop, an assessment, or you're just not sure yet, email me. I read and answer everything myself.
