Applied AI is one of the fastest-growing career fields in tech as companies race to turn AI from demos into real products, workflows, and business value.
I’m an ex-FAANG engineer and currently work at a top AI lab. Over the last 5 years, I’ve seen the rise of generative AI from inside the industry: what teams are building, what roles are emerging, and what companies look for when hiring applied AI talent.
I created this community to share practical, honest guidance from my own experience: what AI engineers and AI FDEs actually do, how to write stronger resumes, how to prep for interviews, and how to use tools like Codex or Claude Code as career and interview coaches.
