Application Journal
Notes from real preparation work: resume rewrites, applications, weekly progress, and retrospectives.
Field notes in public
Becoming a Forward Deployed Engineer.
I’m documenting my journey toward FDE roles through sample customer cases, job posting research, portfolio projects, and reflections on the application process in public.
Sample Cases
Fictional customer requests translated into questions, MVP architecture, risks, and deployment plans.
FDE Research
What the role requires, how it differs from adjacent roles, and why AI companies care about deployment.
Portfolio Projects
Small deployed demos that show ambiguous problem solving, customer context, and clear communication.
Starting point
This is not expert advice yet. It is a public preparation loop.
The goal is to connect every piece of content to a real action: reading job postings, improving application materials, building demos, or learning from outcomes.
