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.

Curious why you are no longer interested in US based defense roles? Is it just because working in the defense space gets old?
