I’m the founder of DreamForge Academy, a small school for people who want to build software with AI agents instead of fighting them. I also run Brain IT Consulting, where I help small businesses and teams put modern AI tooling into their actual day-to-day operations.

Most days I’m elbow-deep in agentic codebases - Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, MCP servers, custom agent SDKs, the whole stack. I ship real software for real customers, and I teach the way I work.

Why 1:1?

Courses are wonderful for fundamentals. But there’s a moment in every learner’s journey where the next step isn’t a video - it’s a conversation. Someone who can look at your setup, your code, yourbusiness, and say “okay, here’s what I’d do next, and here’s why.”

That’s the moment these sessions are designed for. Some people book once and apply what they learn for months. Others come back weekly while we build something together. Both are great.

How I teach

  • Your project, your tools. We work in your codebase, your editor, your environment - not a sandbox.
  • Show, don't tell. I screen-share my agentic setup live and explain why I make every choice.
  • No ego. If I don't know something, we figure it out together. That's the actual skill.
  • Notes go home with you. After each session you get a recap with links, commands, and a small next step.

The best way to learn is by doing.
