  • Your own laptop
  • A Claude or Codex subscription
  • A problem, idea, or curiosity to build around

Built for independence

You do not need traditional coding experience. You need the willingness to make something, break it, fix it, and leave knowing how to do it again without us.

What you get

A seminar that feels like real product work.

The session is designed so you leave with skills that compound, not slides you forget. Every block is oriented around building your own capability.

01

Build a real project

You will start with an idea and leave with something working, deployable, and yours to keep improving.

02

Learn a repeatable workflow

Prompting, iterating, debugging, and steering AI tools without getting lost in the chaos.

03

Get unstuck fast

We work side-by-side in the room, so questions turn into momentum instead of browser-tab spirals.

04

Leave with confidence

You will understand what to do next when you want to build the second version on your own.

Who's teaching

Nearly 25 years of building and shipping.

This seminar is led by Kyle McCullough — a geospatial AI researcher, simulation director, and production engineer whose career spans DoD research, Hollywood, and applied AI. Now farming in Hazelbrook and building the Brookside Agroforestry Research Center (thebarc.ca).

2023–present

CTO

Enginable

2019–2023

Director of Modeling & Simulation

USC Institute for Creative Technologies

Directed multi-million dollar DoD research across AI agents, computer vision, and synthetic environments. 16 peer-reviewed papers, two Best Paper Awards.

Creative Director for Transference (shipped with Ubisoft). Built mobile games with 300K+ downloads including an Apple Game of the Day.

Shipped products

Plus a dozen more shipped apps across iOS, web, AI, and CLI.

How it runs

Short timeline. High signal.

Every part of the seminar is built around getting from vague idea to working build before the energy drops.

00:00

Choose the right project

Pick something small but real, define the outcome, and frame the prompt so the tool has a fighting chance.

00:35

Generate the first build

Create the initial app, wire up the features, and learn how to keep the AI pointed at the actual job.

01:25

Refine, debug, and deploy

Tighten the UI, fix problems, and ship a working version instead of stopping at a prototype.

02:05

Package the workflow

Leave with a reusable process so your next app starts with less hesitation and more speed.

Common questions

Straight answers before you book.

The seminar is designed to remove hesitation, not add more ambiguity.

Who is the seminar for?

The seminar is for founders, makers, curious beginners, and working developers who want a practical AI-assisted workflow for turning ideas into shipped software.

Do I need traditional coding experience?

No. The session is beginner-friendly and hands-on. You need a laptop, a willingness to iterate, and either a problem to build around or a prompt to start from.

What tools do I need before I arrive?

Bring your own laptop and access to Claude or Codex. The seminar is built around using modern AI coding tools to generate, refine, debug, and deploy a real project.

What will I leave with?

You leave with a working project, a repeatable build workflow, and six months of access to the Sawfwair digital materials library.
