Transform Your Engineering Team Into 
AI-Native Builders

I'm Gilles Barbier. I train engineering teams to work with AI—not just use it. Hands-on workshops that turn your developers into 2-5x more productive AI-augmented engineers.

Your Team Has AI Tools.They're Using 10% of Them.

AI won't replace engineers. But engineers using AI will replace engineers who don't. The gap between AI-native teams and everyone else is widening every month.

Sound familiar?

Teams using AI tools superficially—autocomplete only, missing 90% of what's possible
Inconsistent adoption where some engineers thrive while others fall behind
Best engineers leaving for companies with AI-first workflows and modern tooling
Competitors shipping faster with smaller teams using AI-augmented development
Generic AI courses that don't translate to your production codebase
The real cost of waiting?

Every month your team spends in "wait and see" mode, your competitors pull further ahead. The skills gap compounds—and so does the cost of catching up.

Training Programs That Actually Work

I don't teach theory—I train from the trenches. Hands-on workshops using your codebase, your stack, your real challenges. Your team leaves with skills they'll use on day one.

I Don't Teach Theory. I Train From the Trenches.

I've been using AI coding tools daily since GPT-3. Now I help teams unlock the same productivity gains.

Built at Scale:

Zenaton Logo
ZenatonWorkflow-as-code SaaS processing 10M+ executions monthly across 100+ companies Survived Black Friday traffic spikes.
Infinitic Logo
InfiniticDistributed orchestration engine on Apache Pulsar (open source) 99.9% uptime handling critical financial transactions and marketing operations.
Lemline Logo
LemlineCNCF-compliant Serverless Workflow runtime (open source) Built for cloud-native environments from day one.

Gilles architected our orchestration system from scratch. We scaled from 0 to 50M+ executions/month with zero critical failures. His blueprints are now our gold standard.

The difference? I understand how AI tools actually work in production environments— the patterns that scale, the pitfalls to avoid, and how to integrate AI into real engineering workflows.
