Meet Your Mentor
When I started in tech, I was based in the Netherlands with no connections and only thousands of video game hours under my belt. Not exactly the ideal starting point.
My first tech job was software tester. One of the most junior roles you can start with. I was just happy someone took a chance on me.
I kept learning. Kept pivoting. But what actually accelerated my career wasn't more certifications or more code. It was learning to solve problems that matter and proving beyond a doubt that what I built solved real problems. That's the skill that stays future-proof, even with AI.
I've since worked remotely for international software companies throughout my career. Proof that the high-paid remote path is possible for anyone with the right skills and motivation. In the end, I went from a $500/month internship to 6 figures as a Senior AI Engineer at GitHub.
Now I teach over 22,000 engineers on YouTube. Becoming an AI-Native Engineer is a system I lived through and offer to you today.
Real Results

AI Engineer
Landed his first AI Engineering role in 3 months
"The coaching played a huge part in my success. I focused on AI fundamentals, the certification path, and soft skills like professional writing. Having access to expert guidance gave me confidence during interviews and helped me feel I was on the right path.
I built my own platform (simple but functional) and deployed it on AWS. I used it in my portfolio and showcased it during interviews. The way complex topics were explained, especially the restaurant analogy for AI systems, really stuck with me. Focusing on doing the basics well was absolutely essential."

Frequently Asked Questions
Will AI actually replace AI engineers in the next 5-10 years?
No. AI tools automate routine coding tasks, but engineers still design systems, make architectural decisions, understand business requirements, and solve novel problems. Every major tech company is hiring more AI engineers, not fewer. AI coding assistants increase individual productivity, which makes skilled engineers more valuable. The role evolves, but the need for human judgment in building AI systems remains.
What AI engineering skills will stay valuable as AI improves?
Focus on skills AI struggles with: system architecture, understanding business context, integration of multiple systems, debugging complex production issues, and translating vague requirements into technical solutions. Coding syntax is increasingly automated. The ability to decide what to build and why to build it remains human. Engineers who develop strong judgment and communication skills will always be needed.
Is AI engineering a secure career choice for 2026 and beyond?
Yes. Demand for AI engineers continues to grow as every industry adopts AI. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects 23% growth in AI-related roles through 2032. Companies need engineers who can implement, deploy, and maintain AI systems. Even as AI tools improve, someone needs to orchestrate them. The career is evolving, but the opportunity is expanding, not shrinking.
Do I need prior AI experience?
Not necessarily. While some programming experience is helpful, many of my clients have successfully transitioned from web development, data science, or other technical backgrounds. We'll assess your current skills during our strategy call and create a personalized plan that meets you where you are.
How much time do I need to commit?
Most clients invest 10-15 hours per week, but this can be flexible based on your schedule. We'll have weekly 1:1 calls plus time for you to work on projects and learning. The key is consistency. Regular, focused effort beats occasional marathons.
How is this different from online courses?
Online courses give you content. 1:1 coaching gives you a personalized roadmap, direct feedback on your work, career strategy, interview prep, and accountability. You get answers to your specific questions and guidance tailored to your unique situation instead of generic advice meant for everyone.
What if I don't land interviews in 90 days?
You become a member of the AI Native Engineer community, and you stay and keep going. Career transitions take different amounts of time for everyone, and I'm not going to abandon you if things take longer. You get ongoing support through good times and bad.
What's the investment for 1:1 coaching?
Investment details are discussed during the 30-minute strategy call, where we'll assess your goals and create a custom plan. The program is designed to pay for itself quickly through your increased salary. Most AI engineers see a 20-50% pay increase.
Can I do this while working full-time?
Absolutely. Most of my clients work full-time and make steady progress. We'll schedule calls at times that work for you and create a realistic plan that fits your schedule. Consistency matters more than intensity.
How do I position myself for AI augmentation rather than replacement?
Embrace AI tools aggressively. Engineers who resist AI assistants become less competitive, not more secure. Learn to use AI for code generation, debugging, and documentation while you focus on system design and business logic. The engineers being replaced are those who refuse to adapt. The engineers thriving are those using AI to ship 3-5x faster than before.
Is it worth investing in AI engineering skills if AI keeps improving?
Absolutely. The better AI tools become, the more companies need engineers who can wield them effectively. Learning AI engineering is like learning to use any powerful tool. The tool does not replace the craftsman. It amplifies their capabilities. Engineers who understand both AI tools and software fundamentals will be the most valuable hires for the foreseeable future.
