The Path
This path takes you from strong engineer to deployed operator in six stages. It's not a course you pass; it's proof you build.
Find where you stand across production instinct, client nerve, deployment temperament and range. Returns your archetype and a personalized gap-map.
The six pillars, and what “employable” looks like for each. Work your two weakest first.
An LLM doing real work, wired into a messy external system, in front of real users, with evals — kept alive 30 days. This artifact is your candidacy.
A portfolio that leads with shipped systems, not certificates. A profile that reads like an operator, not a student.
System design under real constraints, a client-facing case, eval-scoping, and three deployment war stories ready.
Frontier labs, enterprise & startups, and the Gulf — least-served, fastest-moving, real on-the-ground scope.
