Why YouTube Tutorials Keep You Stuck.
Tutorial hell is real. You watch video after video, feel productive, but never build anything substantial. Passive learning creates an illusion of progress.
No structure or sequence. You jump between creators with conflicting advice. No one tells you what to learn next or whether you are ready to move on.
Quality varies wildly. Some tutorials teach outdated patterns, others skip crucial concepts. You cannot tell good from bad until you have wasted hours.
Structured Learning with Accountability.
The AI Career Accelerator
Instead of bouncing between random tutorials, follow a curated curriculum with someone who tracks your progress, answers your questions, and pushes you to build real projects. No more guessing what comes next.

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
What is wrong with learning AI from YouTube tutorials?
Three core problems: 1) No structure. YouTube rewards engagement, not learning outcomes. Creators optimize for views, not your career progression. You end up with fragmented knowledge and no clear path forward. 2) No accountability. Nobody notices if you stop or get stuck. Without external pressure, most learners quit or stall indefinitely. 3) No quality filter. Anyone can post a tutorial. You cannot distinguish good advice from bad until you have already invested hours watching. Working with a coach solves all three problems.
How do I escape AI tutorial hell?
Tutorial hell happens when you passively consume content without applying it. The escape requires three changes: 1) Stop watching and start building. Every concept you learn should immediately become a project component. 2) Follow a structured curriculum, not random video recommendations. 3) Get external accountability. A coach or mentor who reviews your work and holds you to deadlines. Free content can supplement structured learning, but it cannot replace the structure itself.
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.
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.
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.
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'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.
