I’ve had a realization. There’s something super simple I could do, with little effort, that might add a lot of value for graduates of my courses.

People often ask if I know of interesting job opportunities. And actually, several managers have asked if I know students who’ve completed my courses and are equipped to be AI Engineers.

It seems like there’s a no-brainer win here!

The idea: A directory of Proficient AI Engineers.. and their twins

I could set up a space, perhaps right here on my home page, for a directory of students who’ve completed the courses and would like to be listed.

Wonderfully, it could also include a link to the Digital Twin from the courses!

That way, prospective employers or clients could engage with your twin, find out what you’re looking for and even get in touch. All whilst getting a first hand demonstration of your skills.

How to get included as a Proficient AI Engineer

I’d add everyone interested to the directory if they’ve completed the courses.
(Click here for full curriculum and course links).

1. Completed all AI Engineering tracks showing AI Engineering expertise:
   – AI Engineer Core Track
   – AI Engineer Agentic Track
   – AI Engineer MLOps Track
2. Completed my shorter AI courses to show Applied AI & Commercial acumen
   – AI Leadership Track – it’s a super-power for an AI Engineer to have commercial AI awareness
   – AI Builder with n8n (LAUNCHING IN UNDER 1 WEEK!) – demonstrating skills to apply Agentic AI with real-world impact
3. Deployed a Digital Twin to Vercel, AWS, GCP or Azure
   – Must have the ability to collect contact details.
   – Optional extras: book a meeting, RAG knowledge of you, registered domain, a Voice Agent

You’d simply send in your certificates, LinkedIn and Twin URL, and I’d add your details to the directory. And of course I’d remove you if you ever wanted to be taken off the directory.

There’d be no assessment to be part of the directory; that wouldn’t be the point. The purpose would be to demonstrate that you’ve achieved a level of expertise.

Next steps

I’m sending out an email to gauge interest (perhaps that’s why you’re reading this post!). If there’s a positive reaction, I’ll roll it out asap. I can’t guarantee how long I’d keep the page live for (it would depend on whether it’s useful) but it would definitely be my intention to be at least a year.
