SE-1 v0.1
The future academy · powered by SE-1

Become a
super engineer.

Tell SE-1 where you are and where you want to go. It maps the whole path — and walks every step with you, until you can build what the future needs. Don't take courses. Become.

// The path

You don't take courses.
You climb.

01

Interview

SE-1 learns where you are and where you want to go — in your own words.

02

Trajectory

A complete, personalized path with a known destination. You always see the climb.

03

Apprenticeship

Real work, real breakdowns, real coordination. You ship — and prove it works.

04

Commission

SE-1 certifies you can build. You hold the portfolio that proves it.

// The ascent

Seven levels.
Novice to pioneer.

Every track climbs the same seven. The content changes — the ascent doesn't. You always see exactly where you stand.

  1. 01 Initiate Novice You follow the recipe. SE-1 hands you the exact steps — and you ship your first real thing.
  2. 02 Apprentice Advanced beginner You start to see the patterns. The rules begin to bend to context.
  3. 03 Journeyman Competent You plan, you choose, you own what you ship. Most reach job-ready here — your Commission.
  4. 04 Craftsman Proficient You read the whole board. Priorities become instinct, not a checklist.
  5. 05 Architect Expert You act without the rulebook. You see what matters at a glance.
  6. 06 Master Mastery You set the standard others follow — and make the craft itself better.
  7. 07 Pioneer Frontier You build what has no name yet. You open ground no one has walked.

The ascent is the Dreyfus model of skill acquisition — created by brothers Stuart E. Dreyfus, a mathematician, and Hubert L. Dreyfus, a philosopher, at UC Berkeley in 1980, commissioned by the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research to understand how pilots move from following rules to acting on instinct under pressure. It became one of the most influential accounts of how people actually learn — carried into nursing by Patricia Benner's From Novice to Expert (1984), and into medicine, aviation, and engineering ever since. We build on their work — the five stages from Novice to Expert, and the mastery beyond — and add a seventh rung of our own, Pioneer, for the frontier that has no map yet.

// Where you're going

Begin with Applied AI Engineering.

Then chips, robotics, security, infrastructure — and the roles that don't have names yet. One academy. Every frontier.

// Track Two · for teams

Become a Crew.

Super Engineer forges individuals. A Crew forges a team — a small band that learns to think, build, and ship together in the age of AI. Brave souls, wanted.

A

Master the tools

Every Crew goes through the best AI training on earth — Anthropic's Claude Academy, the foundations of LLMs — until building with AI is second nature.

B

Build as one

Review each other's code, pair with agents, ship together. Cowork the way the great teams do.

C

Coordinate like masters

The lost craft — making and keeping promises, navigating breakdowns, repairing trust, knowing when to declare it done.

D

Deploy & run

Stand up agents, run development and marketing as one AI-native unit. Take ground no one has mapped.

Three months. Your team earns its Crew — registered under your name. A handful of people who can take uncharted ground.

Assemble your Crew

Crew Zero is already underway — our own team, forged on the same path.
