01

Curriculum

A hands-on path along the arc, from AI-Assisted to AI-Native, built on your real codebase, delivered online or in person.

Level 1 · Basic

AI-Assisted

AI in your editor: engineering-grade prompting, code explanation, review assist and debugging.

Level 2 · Intermediate

AI-Connected

AI in the repo and your tools: a per-codebase context layer, test generation and MCP integrations.

Level 3 · Expert

AI-Native

Agents and custom skills that build, test and ship, with accuracy, oversight and cost control.

02

Built by a practitioner, not a trainer

AI Arc is run by a senior engineer who builds AI-native systems on a production codebase every day. What you learn is what actually works right now: real tradeoffs, real failures, on real code.

The field turns over monthly. We teach what ships today, on real code, with real tradeoffs, not what a curriculum certified last year.

AI Engineer

An AI front-runner and a contributor to the AI context layer for complex code repositories, turning AI from autocomplete into a teammate that understands the codebase. I run AI-native solutions in day-to-day engineering: feature implementation, bug fixes, query resolution, support-ticket processing and codified best practices.
