Engineering Coaching for Teams
Level up your team for the AI era, on real code
AI raised the bar. The bottleneck moved from writing code to applying judgment: reviewing what AI writes, directing it well, and knowing when to reach past Python for a systems language. That's the skill most courses skip, and where coaching makes a difference. Two team tracks or 1:1 coaching, all hands-on, built around deep, human code review. The accountability of a reviewer who expects your team's next PR is the part AI can't supply, and it's what makes new habits stick. Engineers who work with us leave with confidence and better judgment to ship more effectively using AI.
Agentic AI: build and harden production agents
Your team is already shipping AI features. The gap is rarely the model; it's the engineering around it. Over six weeks your team builds a complete, deployed AI agent and hardens it under review. They leave able to build the next one, and to judge what AI produces instead of rubber-stamping it.
- Production AI architecture: function calling, structured outputs, service layers, real tests and CI/CD
- The review layer most courses skip: directing AI, catching what it gets wrong, holding one standard across the team
- A deployed agent per developer, not slides that get forgotten
Rust: remove Python bottlenecks with safe and fast code
Not just "learn Rust", real judgment to know when Rust is the right tool and skill for the job. Your team keeps Python where it shines and moves the hot path (CPU, latency, memory, a slow dependency) into safe, fast Rust via PyO3, the same bridge Pydantic and Polars use. With LLMs needing stricter guardrails, Rust is increasingly becoming the language of choice for production-critical systems.
- A real component shipped: a parser built from scratch, bridged to Python with PyO3, benchmarked against CPython
- Ownership, lifetimes, error handling, and concurrency taught by building, then reviewed on every PR
- The judgment to decide when Rust earns its place, and the memory-safety case to back it to your stakeholders
Not sure it's urgent yet?
The AI track exists because review stops keeping pace with output. Take the 30-second check, then let's talk through what it surfaces for your team.

Who runs it
Coached by Bob Belderbos: 10+ years building software at Sun/Oracle, co-founder of Pybites, creator of the Pybites and Rust coding platforms, and 6+ years coaching more than 150 developers. Rust and Agentic AI team sprints are co-led with Juanjo Expósito and Jim Hodapp, so there's delivery depth behind an engagement, not a single coach.
Prefer 1:1, or something custom?
If a cohort isn't the fit (a specific repo, a Python-to-Rust migration, or individual engineers who need upskilling), we shape hands-on coaching against your code base and your team's real challenges. Let's get in touch:
