Hamza Farooq shared thisIt's a shame that by the time your parent becomes your friend, it's time for them to go meet their maker. In your last days you taught me resilience. You had 6 months, you fought your way to 14 months. Farewell, Ammi. You will be missed, but more importantly celebrated!

Hamza Farooq shared thisThis week we are launching something special. Forward Deployed Engineering is the hottest job in the market right now so we built a job aggregator Roles are pulled from FWDDeploy.com, DeployAI Jobs, and a handful of direct employer pages, Indeed, and Ashby listings. Each one is checked for explicit forward-deployed or customer-embedded work, clear remote or geographic eligibility, and no obvious duplicate posting.

Hamza Farooq reacted on thisHamza Farooq reacted on thisThere's a special kind of joy that you get when you share what you've been building with fellow enthusiasts. Hamza and I recently put together an FDE series with four focused sessions all around what FDE roles are about, how to use context engineering in building prototypes and RAG systems, and system design for agentic AI product building, and we had a phenomenal response with every session. Now that everyone is aware what they could build with AI, I'm glad the discussions were more intentional, and questions that participants had were all around reliable AI systems and how to build and maintain them. Thanks to our fellow friends who came in as guests — the takeaways from Priyanka Vergadia, Ravi Mehta and Benjamin Squire were plenty, and we can't wait to collate audience questions and takeaways from these sessions into materials you can refer to. Of course, there's recordings for all these sessions available directly on Maven, so in case you couldn't join and want to catchup with the learning, please refer to the link in my comment. More courses and sessions brewing up, stay tuned with us.

Hamza Farooq shared thisOver 1,000 people joined me and Priyanka Vergadia live yesterday to talk about one role I believe will define the next decade of AI: the Forward Deployed Engineer. The most interesting part wasn't the attendance, it was the discussion. The chat was full of questions like: - Can Product Managers become FDEs? - Will Software Engineers evolve into customer-facing builders? - How do you influence without authority? - Is the hardest part of AI actually organizational change, not technology? - How do you build AI systems that enterprises can trust? That tells me we're asking the right questions. The AI industry is moving beyond prompts and prototypes. Companies need people who can understand customers, design systems, build production-grade AI, and own outcomes end-to-end. That's what this series is about. A huge thank you to everyone who joined, especially Priyanka Vergadia for sharing years of experience building customer-facing AI organizations. We're just getting started. If you missed the first session, there are still three free sessions left, covering topics like AI harnesses, GraphRAG, context engineering, and what it actually takes to build production AI systems. If you're an engineer, technical PM, consultant, or anyone who wants to become a builder in the AI era, I'd love to have you join us. Sign up here: https://lnkd.in/es6pmA2k See you in the next session. 🚀

Hamza Farooq shared thisI don't usually post rankings, but this made me smile. The Forward Deployed Engineering Series is currently the #1 trending series on Maven 😂 That said, I don't want this to take away from the other instructors on the page. There are some genuinely great sessions, especially if you want to go deeper into Agentic Harnesses, AI Engineering, and production AI systems. That too when it is all free! Learn from all of us. The ecosystem gets stronger that way. Sign up: https://lnkd.in/es6pmA2k

Hamza Farooq shared thisThree weeks ago, we launched our most ambitious Maven course yet: the Forward Deployed Engineering Bootcamp. The response exceeded every expectation, so much so that we landed on Lenny Rachitsky's list of recommended course 😅 But we also heard from hundreds of engineers, founders, and technical product managers who wanted to learn these skills and simply couldn't justify a paid course. So we decided to make part of it available to everyone. Today, we're launching the Forward Deployed Engineering Masterclass: a free, four-session lightning series featuring some of the brightest minds building production AI systems. Why Forward Deployed Engineering? Because building AI isn't just about choosing the right model. The real work starts when you're sitting with customers, understanding messy workflows, designing reliable systems, integrating with existing infrastructure, and shipping something people actually use. That's where Forward Deployed Engineers create the most value. Across four live sessions, we'll cover: • Introduction to Forward Deployed Engineering: why the role is growing so quickly and what it takes to become one • Knowledge Graphs & GraphRAG for enterprise AI • Context Engineering for reliable AI systems • AI System Design Patterns for production applications I'm excited to be joined by my co-instructor Aishwarya Ashok, along with an incredible lineup of guest speakers: • Priyanka Vergadia from Microsoft • Benjamin Squire from Neo4j • Ravi Mehta Each session is practical, hands-on, and grounded in lessons from real production deployments. Whether you're a full-stack engineer, technical product manager, consultant, founder, or simply curious about the future of AI engineering, we'd love to have you join us. Looking forward to seeing you there. Link to join: https://lnkd.in/es6pmA2k

Hamza Farooq shared thisI suspect an year from now, we will all be working for Tiffany Teasley and I don't think that's a bad thing 😂 Checkout her latest project!Hamza Farooq shared thisI built something. I am a little obsessed with it. It is called Callback. Here is what it does. You paste in the job you want. ↳ It rewrites your resume to match it ↳ It builds interview questions from the job and the role ↳ It lets you rehearse your answers out loud Before you are ever in the room. I built it because I bombed my first data science interview. They asked about BERT. I froze. No one should walk in that unready. The job hunt has two hard parts. Getting the callback. Surviving the interview. Callback helps with both. It is live. Check it out, then tell me what you would add. Your resume opens the door. Your answers walk you through it. P.S. What would make your dream job finally say yes? #DataSistah 📌 Follow me for honest takes on breaking into data science. ♻️ Repost this and send it to a friend deep in a job hunt. 👋🏾 Hi, I'm Data Sistah. I left a 20-year teaching career in my 40s to become a data scientist. I share what I learned the hard way so you don't have to.

Q1 is almost ending. At the start of this year, the momentum in Tech & AI felt unstoppable. New AI startups launching. Companies accelerating automation. Teams racing to deploy AI faster than ever. But over the last few weeks, something interesting happened. The US–Iran geopolitical tension started affecting global markets and investor confidence. Some analysts even warn that ongoing conflict could slow investment appetite and create uncertainty across industries. And I’m starting to see the ripple effects in tech as well. Recently, a client told me: "The project is ready… we have the work… but honestly, our focus is on the conflict situation right now." That sentence stayed with me. Because it reminded me of something important: Tech doesn’t grow in isolation. It grows inside the global environment. When uncertainty rises: • Investments slow down • Projects pause • Decision-making gets delayed But history also shows something else. Every global disruption eventually creates new waves of innovation. The question is not whether tech will slow down for a moment. The real question is: Who will keep building while the world is distracted? Because those are usually the companies that win the next cycle. Waiting to hear your perspective: Are you seeing projects slow down in your industry as well?

Motive is gearing up to go public next year, riding strong momentum. With tech legend Meg Whitman (former CEO eBay, HP) on the board and ~30% annual growth, it’s shaping up to be an attractive IPO. Their playbook seems to closely follow that of Samsara — and the rivalry between the two is starting to feel a lot like Boston Red Sox vs. New York Yankees in the telematics world 😁. If we go back a bit: Motive was founded in 2013 (KeepTruckin) — two years before Samsara. For years, they focused on SMBs while Samsara rapidly scaled by targeting enterprise fleets, going public in 2021 — just six years after its founding. Around that time, Motive’s growth reportedly slowed to about 10% annually. That’s when they made a decisive pivot toward enterprise customers — and executed on it really well. While Motive’s ARR is still roughly one-third of Samsara’s, they’re building momentum fast. Their public narrative still highlights SMBs, but in practice, most resources have shifted to enterprise. They have to keep up this trajectory for their IPO to be a success. 💡 And here’s the interesting part: this shift opens even more opportunity in the SMB segment — a space where we at Telematics inSights are fully focused. While large players chase enterprise contracts, we’re building a strong channel that serves SMB fleets with our software — an underserved market with massive potential 🚀 #telematicsinsights #FleetSafety #FleetTelematics #VideoTelematics

Everyone is building AI agents. Very few are talking about what breaks in production. I joined Kuldeep Singh on Techie Talks with Kuldeep to discuss the real engineering challenges behind building SarahAI: Voice Latency, WhatsApp workflows, Non-deterministic AI behavior, token costs, and what it takes to make AI useful for SME founders. The big question we explored: How do you turn AI from an impressive demo into a reliable daily assistant? Full episode link is in the comments. #AI #AgenticAI #Startups #SoftwareEngineering #SarahAI
