From watching builds to mastering the system.
I’m developing structured, project-based courses for developers who want to architect production SaaS with confidence. Join early access to shape what comes first and hear when enrollment opens.
Nothing is for sale here. No price, no date, no syllabus — those arrive when they are real, and not before.
Three tracks, and that is the whole plan.
Not a roadmap with dates on it. These are the three areas the builds keep returning to, and the three I would turn into an ordered path first.
Production SaaS foundations
The data model, the boundary between server and client, deployment, and the failure paths — assembled in the order you would really build them rather than the order that films well.
See the architecture buildsReliable AI product architecture
Answers that cite the passage they rest on, model calls that fail in a way a user can act on, and the distance between a demo that answers and a product someone can check.

Sessions and permissions, the billing cases that only show up after checkout, and what changes about every query once one database serves many tenants.

Everything on YouTube is a complete build, and it stays there, free. A course would not be the same material behind a paywall — it would be what I cannot fit into a video.
Free builds
On YouTube now- Complete products, shipped end to end on camera.
- Focused lessons on the production parts — auth boundaries, billing edge cases, the fixes that came after.
- Watch in any order, at any depth, for nothing.
Structured courses
In development- An ordered path, so the prerequisites arrive before the thing that needs them.
- Exercises you do yourself, with the interesting decision left in rather than made for you.
- The written material around the video — diagrams, schemas, and the reasoning at a length narration cannot carry.
No certificate, no community tier, and no personal code review. If any of those ever exist it will be because they were built, not because they were promised on this page.
Why there is no curriculum on this page.
I am not going to pre-sell a syllabus I have not taught yet. The builds on YouTube are where the material gets tested — which explanation lands, which one I get wrong the first time, and which part turns out to matter far more than I expected going in.
A course is that, with the detours taken out and the order fixed. I would rather publish the first one late than publish a plan for three and change it twice.

Shape what comes first.
Tell me which of the three you want soonest, and you'll hear when there's something concrete to show. It's the same list as the newsletter — a new build, the diagram behind it, the production fix that came after — with course progress ahead of the announcement.

Everything I have built so far is already up, in full, and free.
