I want to change careers

Nobody hires on courses completed. This route is built backwards from the evidence you will be asked for: things you measured, a system somebody depended on, and a client who let you near their business.

You end with: A portfolio of measured work, including one engagement inside a real business that you left cleanly.

Explore

Being the person who can cost a proposal is a rarer hire than being the person who can build it.

  1. The economics of automation — Why one job gets automated and the near-identical one next to it does not. (3 lessons, 65 min)

Build

Finish something quickly for momentum, then the two courses that produce numbers an interviewer cannot get from anybody else.

  1. Coffee break: the summariser you can prove is wrong — Twenty minutes to build it, twenty more to find out where it fails. The second half is the point. (2 lessons, 40 min)
  2. The eval you actually need — Stop reading leaderboards. Build the harness that measures your task, on your inputs. (4 lessons, 8 min)
  3. Local or nothing — Run open-weight models on hardware you own, and know what they cost you in watts and seconds. (5 lessons, 6 min)

Earn

Being able to test an idea and cost a proposal is a rarer hire than being able to build one.

  1. Validate it in 48 hours — Find out whether anybody wants it before you spend six weekends finding out they don't. (3 lessons, 65 min)
  2. Price the work — Scope it, cost it, quote it — and know the number below which the job loses you money. (3 lessons, 80 min)

Launch

One real engagement outside your own building, written up honestly, outweighs any certificate.

  1. Automate a local business — Somebody else's business, somebody else's process, and a handover where you never get called again. (23 lessons, 1010 min)
