16+ years in engineering. Built products at CampusLIVE and Google Ventures-backed CustomMade. Rebuilt VisualBoston's entire platform using Claude Code. Specializes in making AI accessible to non-engineers — teaching designers terminal basics, GitHub workflows, and how to ship real things with AI.
LinkedInWe practice what we preach
We don't just teach AI — we build with it. Here's what that looks like.
A designer built this game. In half a day. No engineers.

How it works
No fluff. You bring the problem, we bring the experience.
Step 1
Book your session
Pick a time with Alec, Mark, or both. Tell us what challenge you're facing so we show up ready.
Step 2
We do our homework
We review your product, team, and goals ahead of time. No warm-up — we jump straight into what matters.
Step 3
60 minutes, live and hands-on
Screen-share, build together, solve real problems. We demo AI tools on your actual work, not hypotheticals. Recorded so you never lose a detail.
Step 4
Recap with next steps
Within 24 hours: a written summary with key decisions, action items, tool recommendations, and links to everything we covered.
Step 5

Not sure where to start? Our 4-session track takes you from setup to shipped app — no coding experience required.
Session 1
Setup & First Win
Install Claude Code, VS Code, and essential tools. Your first conversation with AI: turning a prompt into code. Deploy a simple site to the internet — yes, session one.
Session 2
Speaking AI
Master prompting and the feedback loop: prompt, output, refine. Learn how to describe what you want with specificity. Debugging without panicking — errors are normal.
Session 3
Building Real Features
Forms, user input, and data handling. Connecting to APIs and external services. Authentication basics — let users log in to your app.
Session 4
Polish & Ship
Styling with Tailwind — your design skills shine here. Responsive design in code. Deploy to Vercel and share with the world.
Each session is 60 minutes, recorded, and followed by a written recap. Book individually or save with a pack.
