8 lessons
  1. 1
    The Content Engine, Not the Content PieceFree preview

    Posting daily isn't a strategy. Building a system that produces ten pieces from one idea is.

  2. 2
    Writing with AI Without Sounding Like AI

    AI writing has five tells that readers notice before they can name them. Here's how to find them in your drafts and rewrite past them.

    25m
  3. 3
    Images That Actually Belong on Your Site

    Most AI images look like AI images. The fix isn't a better model — it's understanding what the image is for before you prompt.

  4. 4
    Product Photos Without a Photo Shoot

    AI product photography is here. It's not perfect. But it's good enough to ship, and knowing what makes it look real is the difference.

  5. 5
    Short-Form Video with AI

    AI video tools can produce something worth shipping. But only if you understand what you're actually asking them to do — and when to stop iterating.

    25m
  6. 6
    Voice and Audio with ElevenLabs

    AI voice is genuinely good now. But using it well requires thinking about the ethics before the workflow, and the workflow before the tools.

    25m
  7. 7
    One Piece Becomes Ten

    The repurposing matrix: how a single long-form piece becomes a full week of content across every format that matters.

    25m
  8. 8
    The Weekly Rhythm

    What to ship every week, what to ship every month, and when to step back and refactor the engine.

Fractional CTO · Builder

Your instructor

Self-taught engineer based in Northern California. Building Braintied full-time since late 2024: shared stack, live stage, and client ventures that ship in days. Sentigen, Parlor, Kulti, Swishh, and more. Fractional CTO for founders and venture studios who need someone who has actually shipped the thing, not just consulted on it.

I built these courses because the gap between "I can read code" and "I'm shipping products" is real, and most resources pretend it doesn't exist. Every lesson is what I wish existed when I was closing that gap myself.

Common questions

Do I need to know how to code?
No. The courses are designed for people who can read code but aren't shipping products yet. If you've followed a tutorial or used GitHub, you're ready.
What AI tools do I need?
A Claude Code subscription is the primary tool. Claude.ai Pro also works for most exercises. We cover setup in lesson one.
Is this format video or text?
Written lessons, like a good engineering blog, not a talking-head video. Each lesson is designed to be read in one focused session and followed along in your editor.
Do I get lifetime access?
Yes. One-time purchase, lifetime access to the course and any future updates to that course content.
What is your refund policy?
Full refund within 7 days of purchase, no questions asked. Email [email protected] with your order.
Is this for me if I already know how to code?
Yes, especially if you're a developer who hasn't shifted to an AI-native workflow yet. The skills compound fastest when you already understand what good code looks like.
