Agentic Architect 101

Stop Coding - Start Orchestrating AI Agents
The industry is shifting from writing code to orchestrating agents that write code. Anthropic's research shows it clearly. But most engineers are still stuck in coding mode: they prompt, they debug, they patch. The agents misbehave. The architecture feels wrong. And they have no one to show them how to design and coordinate systems instead of hand-coding every fix.
In this cohort, you stop coding and start orchestrating. You'll define a PRD that agents can execute on. You'll configure a CrewAI crew - roles, tasks, tools - and get live debugging when things break. You'll get architecture review before you scale. You'll apply the framework to your actual use case, with coaching in real time.
Unlike self-paced tutorials, you build with me in the room. Hot seats. Live debugging. The Define-Build-Deliver framework applied systematically - not tips, but a proven method. I've spent 30 years building systems that scale (Cisco, Claro, Pearson) and now train engineers to orchestrate agents instead of writing code alone. When you hit a wall, we fix it together.
-> Two Saturdays. Four hours live. The shift from coder to orchestrator.
What you’ll learn
You'll orchestrate AI agents instead of coding alone. You'll ship a CrewAI crew, a PRD agents run on, and the confidence to shift from coder
Understand the shift from traditional development to agentic architecture and the value migration to coordination.
Learn the three hats of an Agentic Architect: tech, experience, business.
Define your mini-project scope with market research and PRD creation. Get live feedback on your approach.
Set up context so AI agents can execute on your requirements. Get architecture review when stuck.
Build your multi-agent development crew: agents, tasks, context. See agents produce code and artifacts.
Use context engineering as the core lever. Get live debugging when something breaks.
Simulate deployment, monitoring, and operational concerns for your mini-project.
Reflect on gaps and identify what to improve next. Get hot seats and coaching in real time.
Apply AAMAD from definition to deployment in two Saturdays. One small but real multi-agent outcome.
Bring your real use case; get coaching on how to translate the framework to your context.

Who this course is for
Software developers and engineers who see AI reshaping their role and want to move from implementer to orchestrator.
Tech leads and engineering managers who need to ship production-grade agent systems and who are already the "glue" between teams and agents
AI/ML engineers and consultants who want to escape task-level work and sell enterprise-grade, orchestrated solutions
