10 Sessions That Rewire How You Think
Each session targets a specific FDE skill — from discovery and scoping to shipping in customer environments. Structured for working engineers, not students.
Real Playbooks From Engineers Who've Done It
Every resource is verified against real FDE engagements at companies like Palantir, Ramp, and Retool. No theory — only what actually works in the field.
Exercises That Make You Think Like an FDE
Each session ends with an applied exercise and a 15-minute review. You will practice discovery, scoping, communication, and shipping — not just read about them.
A Structured Path to a New Role
Track your progress session by session. Resume any time. Finish with a personal FDE playbook you can use from day one in a customer-facing role.

What Engineers Say

“The exercise in session 7 made me realise I had been managing stakeholders completely wrong. I rewrote how I do weekly updates the same day.”
