Four major tech disruptions in 25 years — dot-com bust, telecom collapse, outsourcing waves, offshoring transitions. I survived every one by building a personal system for learning new skills fast, under pressure, without a roadmap. Now AI displacement is the fifth — and I'm navigating it the same way I always have: by learning faster than the disruption moves. That system is what I now teach.
I'm a Silicon Valley hardware and software test engineer with 25+ years at Google, Cisco, Texas Instruments, Nokia, and Juniper Networks. I also co-owned a franchised chain restaurant — so I understand the small business owner's pressure to do more with less, not just the engineer's.
My core belief: the most valuable AI skill in 2026 isn't knowing how to use ChatGPT. It's meta-learning — using AI to learn AI itself. When you master that loop, your learning speed doesn't just improve, it compounds. Every new tool, every new disruption, every new domain becomes faster than the last because AI is now your 24/7 personal coach, tutor, and thinking partner simultaneously. That's the only skill with a 10-year shelf life.
In our sessions, we start with simple, accessible workflows as live lab material to build the meta-learning muscle. From there, you apply that skill yourself — diving as deep into your own work as you need to go. The goal isn't for me to solve your workflow. It's for you to leave knowing how to solve it yourself.
Mid-career professionals, knowledge workers, and small business owners welcome. English and Mandarin sessions available.
