The program

A testing-first path from zero to deployable

An entrance exam places you. Applied fundamentals and AI labs build the base. Live incidents forge judgement. Mastery gates every level — and you leave with proof employers can verify.

How it works

Four stages, earned not watched

Every stage produces evidence — code that runs, incidents resolved, skills verified.

01

Diagnose & place

A timed, integrity-monitored entrance exam filters for reasoning, product sense and attention to detail — not syntax recall — and sets your starting level.

02

Master the fundamentals

Applied curriculum plus spaced-repetition recall and real coding and AI labs, all framed by how real systems work and what breaks when you get them wrong.

03

Prove it under fire

Live war-room incidents, AI role-play simulations, real bug-hunting and your own operated agent — judgement you can only build by doing.

04

Graduate world-ready

Earn every level, groom the professional skills, and leave with a verifiable credential that makes you a hireable Forward-Deployed Engineer from day one.

What's inside

Everything a fresh graduate needs

Not videos and quizzes — real practice across nine dimensions, all mastery-gated and all provable.

Real coding practice

Hidden-test challenges in JS/TS and Python with AI code review — proof you can build.

AI engineering

A dedicated track: LLMs, prompt engineering, agents, RAG and evals. Practised, not just read.

Spaced-repetition recall

An SM-2 engine cements fundamentals — HTTP, SQL, auth, caching, system design — so they stick.

Live war rooms

Resolve real production incidents end to end, graded like a staff SRE.

AI simulations

Role-play skeptical CTOs and angry customers with voice input and delivery scoring.

Skill wheel & specializations

A 360° competency map plus deep-dive tracks with the best references in the world.

Bug-hunting on live apps

File evidence-backed bug reports and read each app's live schema, RLS and architecture.

Mastery-gated advancement

Exams, challenges, verified skills and incident scores must clear the bar before you level up.

Verifiable credential

A cryptographically signed, employer-verifiable profile of proven skills — trusted in one click.

Judgement under fire

Live War Rooms build what videos can't

Drop into a real production incident. Triage the blast radius, pull logs, metrics and recent deploys from an AI incident channel, find the root cause, ship a safe fix, architect the prevention and write the blameless post-mortem — scored across every dimension like a staff SRE would.

Two ways to run it

Pick the track that fits

A focused intern sprint, or the full six-month grooming into a Forward-Deployed Engineer.

1 month

Intern track

A focused sprint to make a fresh graduate genuinely useful — fundamentals, coding, AI basics and real reps.

6 months

Extended grooming

The full transformation into a Forward-Deployed Engineer — monthly check-ins, deep specializations, war rooms and a credential.

Proof, not just a certificate

Leave with a verifiable credential

Passed coding challenges, resolved incidents, verified competencies and clean-integrity exams — cryptographically signed and verifiable by any employer in one click.

Cryptographically signed

Tamper-evident: the payload is HMAC-signed, so a credential can't be forged or edited.

Employer-verifiable

A public verify link recomputes validity live — no phone calls, no PDFs to trust.

Backed by real evidence

It reflects proven skills and clean-integrity exams, not attendance.
