I run givedirection.com, a cohort-based education program for AI workflow practitioners. My focus is on teaching people how to actually build and operate with AI individually or for companies integrating agent/AI workflows.

Background: USAF intelligence, founded and sold Pair Inc. (AR platform, 1M+ users, acquired 2019), CTO at Kessel Run, Principal Engineer at Unity Technologies, CTO at Gambit AI. Built findcovidtesting.com here with other HN people. Co-authored IEEE 7010 on ethical AI.

Open to AI training, education, curriculum design, or advising on long-horizon strategy. Ideal engagements align with or extend what I'm already building at Direction but I'm open to any 1099 or contract work, and the right full time job.

Note: I will not work for the US defense market so please don't reach out about US based defensed roles.
