I'm building out a new comp sci education program based on an advisory model. It is intended to complement instructor-lead models (like traditional schools/universities), with more emphasis on self-direction and real-world exposure. Part of the motivation is to address talent development problems in startups when I worked in VC and in hiring for projects for my own company. These issues are exacerbated nowadays with AI.

I'm the lead advisor and currently looking to recruit students to work with personally, ideally those who are in HS or university but is bored and/or feel like they are not learning useful/interesting things. Bonus if they have an interest in exploring entrepreneurship. I have a background in data engineering, VC, and ML R&D.
