We grow our own verified talent

An AI-native engineering firm that grows its own verified talent: companies pay for delivery, training, and hires, so the people we train pay nothing but the work.

New to tech? The 2026 Roadmap Hub

Interactive, mostly-free roadmaps for Software Engineering and AI Engineering, curated resources, track your progress, and learn to operate the AI wave instead of competing with it.

Open the Roadmaps

Learn by building: the Ops Build Lab

One portfolio-grade project for each modern Ops discipline, DevOps, DevSecOps, MLOps, AIOps, LLMOps, AgentOps. Milestones, the exact stack, researched resources, and a definition of done. Tick them off as you go.

Selection, not tuition

Seats are free or near-free for selected talent. Selection is the gate, not money. We make our money from companies, delivery, training, and hires, not from students.

Choose your track

The two foundational tracks are free for selected candidates. The advanced AI tracks, GPU performance and cluster platform, are premium, built for engineers aiming at frontier labs and GPU clouds.

AI-Native Platform & Cloud Engineering

Free for selected candidates

Become fluent across the major clouds, AWS, GCP, Azure, and OpenStack, and build, ship, and operate production infrastructure with an AI agent in the loop.

  • Engineer on the big three clouds: core compute, networking (VPC/subnets/load balancers), storage, and IAM on AWS, GCP, and Azure
  • Run your own private cloud on OpenStack (Nova, Neutron, Cinder, Keystone) and know when private beats public
  • Provision and operate everything as code with Terraform, zero manual console clicks
  • Run services on Kubernetes with health checks, limits, probes, and GitOps delivery
  • Instrument systems with metrics, logs, traces, alerts, and SLOs
  • Deploy and cost-control LLM serving and RAG infrastructure
  • Build governed ops agents with human-approval gates

AI-Native Data Engineering

Free for selected candidates

Model, move, and serve data with an AI agent in the loop, and build the data substrate AI systems run on.

  • Model and load messy real-world data so assertion queries pass
  • Build scheduled ELT pipelines with dbt tests green on an independent run
  • Design cost-budgeted warehouse / lakehouse storage
  • Enforce data quality with contracts and gates
  • Build embedding and retrieval pipelines with measured quality

AI Infrastructure & GPU Performance

Premium
From $5,000or fully sponsored by a hiring partner

The advanced track. Go deep on the hardware, the parallelism, and the latency, the skills that get you hired at frontier labs and GPU clouds (the Nebius, NVIDIA, Anthropic, OpenAI tier).

  • Reason below the framework: OS scheduling, memory, and concurrency, and read/write the C++/Rust that runtimes are built in
  • Read the GPU stack: the CUDA execution model, SMs and warps, HBM bandwidth, and Tensor Cores
  • Profile workloads top-down with PyTorch Profiler, Nsight Systems/Compute, and DCGM
  • Scale training with data, tensor, pipeline, context, and expert parallelism (FSDP/ZeRO)
  • Tune NCCL collectives and interconnects (NVLink, InfiniBand) so GPUs compute instead of wait
  • Serve LLMs at low latency: prefill vs decode, KV cache, PagedAttention, continuous batching, vLLM / TensorRT-LLM / SGLang
  • Run and acceptance-test GPU clusters on Kubernetes (GPU Operator, device plugin, DCGM dashboards)
  • Cut cost and latency with quantization, mixed precision, and fused/custom kernels

AI Cluster & Inference Platform

Premium
From $6,000or fully sponsored by a hiring partner

The platform-at-scale track. Provision, network, secure, and operate fleets of GPU clusters across clouds and data centers, and serve models on them across providers. Built straight from how frontier labs run compute (think Anthropic Cluster Infra + Cloud Inference).

  • Automate the full cluster lifecycle, provision, update, drain, recover, decommission, with agent-driven IaC (Terraform/Atlantis) and workflows (Temporal, Argo Workflows)
  • Design multi-cloud networking: VPC design and peering, Shared VPC / Transit Gateway, Cloud Interconnect / Direct Connect, BGP and route control
  • Build high-bandwidth, fault-tolerant cluster fabric that auto-drains and recovers on failure
  • Master cluster + host networking: CNI (Cilium), eBPF, NetworkPolicy, multi-NIC, and service mesh (Istio/Envoy/Linkerd, mTLS)
  • Make clusters secure-by-default: pod security standards, admission control, RBAC and least-privilege IAM, node/container hardening, image provenance
  • Serve models across CSPs (AWS, GCP, Azure): request routing, capacity planning, autoscaling, and cost-aware placement to the cheapest accelerator and region
  • Ship model versions to millions with CI/CD validation pipelines, and run real operational excellence: incident response, postmortems, on-call health

You learn by doing, and proving it

No passive video courses. Every module ends in a hands-on lab you run for real, and your work is checked by machine, not by you.

Launchable lab environments

Spin up a real cloud sandbox per lab, build in it, then tear it down. You touch the actual tools, not slides about them.

Machine-verified work

Each lab is graded against real acceptance checks. You cannot fake "it works", the harness decides, and you defend it in a live viva.

A portfolio with receipts

You finish with a body of verified work that companies can trust, which is exactly how our graduates get hired.

For companies

Hire graduates whose work is machine-verified, not claimed, or have us train your own engineers to run AI in production. Either way, you pay for outcomes.
