Hi, I’m Paul. I help engineers ship AI products.
I’m the author of the bestseller LLM Engineer’s Handbook, lead instructor of the Agentic AI Engineering course, founding AI Engineer of a San Francisco start-up, and obsessed with making knowledge accessible through AI.
With over 10 years of experience and 20 apps shipped, I teach AI Engineering as I wanted to at the beginning of my career. End-to-end. From idea to production. From data collection to deploying, monitoring and evaluation. With a focus on AI principles, software patterns and infrastructure systems that will thrive in a future dominated by AI coding tools.
My ultimate goal is to help other engineers escape PoC purgatory and X10 their AI Engineering skills.
