AI Engineering, From First Principles
Two days of hands-on technical sessions: LLM architecture, Claude Code, full-stack AI development, and production deployment
A deep-dive technical workshop covering LLM internals, prompt engineering, RAG architectures, Claude Code workflows, and full-stack AI application development. You write code, build systems, and deploy to production across both days.
Designed for developers and technical founders. 30 seats. You leave with working software, not slide decks.
Start ApplicationApplications are now open until 30 spots are filled.

Who This Is For
Developers
You write code and want to build AI-powered products. You want hands-on experience with LLMs, Claude Code, and production AI architecture.
Founders
You're building a product and want to integrate AI into your stack. You want to ship faster, automate growth, and validate your technical direction.
Consultants
You want to offer AI consulting services. You need frameworks for scoping, pricing, and delivering AI projects for clients.
What You Walk Out With
This is not a lecture series. You walk out of this weekend with a deployed AI application, a mastered development environment, and validated strategies for building and scaling AI-powered products.
Hands-on sessions where you build with LLMs, configure Claude Code with custom skills and MCP servers, architect full-stack AI applications, and deploy to production - all in two days.
Deep-dive technical sessions on AI engineering, product development, and business strategy - paired with collaborative exercises, founder roundtables, and 1-on-1 expert reviews.
You don't leave with ideas. You leave with working software, real skills, and a network of builders.
The 7 Things You Leave With
A Working AI Application
A deployed, functional AI-powered application you built during the workshop. Not a toy demo, a real product with LLM integration, a polished UI, and production infrastructure.

Ready to Build with AI?
You've been building. You know AI is reshaping how products are made, how businesses scale, and how technical skills are valued. But reading about it isn't the same as doing it.
This weekend, you stop reading and start building. You ship an AI-powered application, master the tools, and leave with a plan to scale - whether that's your product or your consulting practice.
Questions
Do I need AI or machine learning experience?
No. We start with foundations and build up. If you can write code, you can follow along. If you already have AI experience, the advanced sessions and 1-on-1 deep dives will push you further.
What if I'm a non-technical founder?
You'll benefit from understanding AI architecture and capabilities at a strategic level, plus the consulting and product strategy sessions. The hands-on building sessions use Claude Code, which makes development accessible even without deep coding experience.
Will I actually have a deployed app by the end?
Yes. Day 1 is structured so you build and deploy a working AI-powered application before the evening social. Day 2 focuses on scaling, strategy, and expert validation.
What should I bring?
Your laptop, charger, and any project code you're currently working on. We'll help you set up Claude Code, API keys, and all required tools during the workshop.
What AI tools and APIs will we use?
Claude (Anthropic), Claude Code, anypost.ai, and standard infrastructure tools (databases, hosting platforms). All API costs during the workshop are covered.
Is this useful for someone who wants to offer AI consulting?
Absolutely. Session 6 is a dedicated AI Consulting Masterclass covering packaging, pricing, and client acquisition. You'll also practice scoping a real project during the 1-on-1 sessions.
How is networking structured?
Networking is woven throughout. Collaborative lunches with builder introductions, a rooftop social on Saturday evening, founder roundtables, pair programming during hands-on sessions, and demo presentations on Sunday.
What does the 90-day roadmap include?
A personalized plan with technical milestones, product priorities, growth strategies, and specific next steps. Whether you're building a product, launching consulting services, or both. Reviewed by mentors before you leave.
