Teaching Philosophy
My approach to teaching is rooted in real-world experience and practical application.
English is the New Code
The future of software development isn't about writing more code - it's about writing better English. AI tools have fundamentally changed how we build.
Build, Don't Just Learn
Theory without practice is useless. Every lesson includes hands-on building so you develop real skills, not just knowledge.
Real-World Focus
I teach what actually works in production environments, not academic concepts that don't translate to real projects.
Community Over Competition
The best learning happens in supportive communities. I foster collaboration, not competition, among students.
What Colleagues Say
Hear from engineers and product builders who've worked with Mark throughout his career.
“Mark gave me a chance when I knew nothing, and since then I'm excelling at a role and in a team that I love. A team that he largely helped build. He's a supportive, pragmatic, and calm leader with many years of hard earned experience.”
“Mark has focused on delivering value for the business, hitting all of his deadlines whilst not compromising on quality. Mark is an excellent communicator and someone who I trust to not just do a job, but to do a job well.”
“Mark is not only one hell of a good developer he's also a very talented 'people person'. His ability to understand what a client requires, and empathise with them throughout the life-cycle of a project are rare and true talents.”
Why I Teach
After leading engineering teams at Gymshark and building products used by millions, I realized that the biggest impact I could make wasn't through code - it was through teaching others to harness AI as a creative partner.
Traditional coding education is broken. It takes years to become productive, and by the time you're ready, the tools have already changed. AI has fundamentally shifted this paradigm for aspiring engineers and builders.
I created this bootcamp to share what I've learned about AI Product Engineering and building smarter products with AI - knowledge that helps you move faster, think bigger, and leverage AI as your creative partner from day one.
