The AI Agent Gold Rush Is Here.
Most Developers Don't Know How to Get In.

You see the AI agent opportunity but don't know which skills to prioritize. LangChain? AutoGen? CrewAI?

Job descriptions ask for 'agentic AI experience' but no one taught you how to build production agents.

Companies are paying $150K-$250K+ for agent developers, but you're stuck building basic chatbots.

Meet Your Mentor

Zen van Riel

When I started in tech, I was based in the Netherlands with no connections and only thousands of video game hours under my belt. Not exactly the ideal starting point.

My first tech job was software tester. One of the most junior roles you can start with. I was just happy someone took a chance on me.

I kept learning. Kept pivoting. But what actually accelerated my career wasn't more certifications or more code. It was learning to solve problems that matter and proving beyond a doubt that what I built solved real problems. That's the skill that stays future-proof, even with AI.

I've since worked remotely for international software companies throughout my career. Proof that the high-paid remote path is possible for anyone with the right skills and motivation. In the end, I went from a $500/month internship to 6 figures as a Senior AI Engineer at GitHub.

Becoming an AI-Native Engineer is a system I lived through and offer to you today.

"The coaching played a huge part in my success. I focused on AI fundamentals, the certification path, and soft skills like professional writing. Having access to expert guidance gave me confidence during interviews and helped me feel I was on the right path.

I built my own platform (simple but functional) and deployed it on AWS. I used it in my portfolio and showcased it during interviews. The way complex topics were explained, especially the restaurant analogy for AI systems, really stuck with me. Focusing on doing the basics well was absolutely essential."

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly does an AI agent developer do?

AI agent developers build autonomous systems that can reason, plan, and take action. They go beyond simple prompt responses. You'll design multi-step workflows, implement tool use and external integrations, create guardrails and safety systems, and orchestrate multiple agents working together. Think coding copilots, research assistants, and workflow automation that actually works.

What skills do I need for AI agent developer roles?

Core skills include Python, LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic), prompt engineering, RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation), vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate), and agent frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI). You'll also need systems thinking, debugging complex behaviors, and understanding how to evaluate agent performance.

What do AI agent developers earn?

Salaries are high because the talent pool is tiny. Entry-level roles start at $100K-$140K, mid-level at $140K-$180K, and senior positions command $175K-$250K+. Companies pay a premium for developers who can build production agents, not just demos.

How is this different from online courses?

Online courses give you content. 1:1 coaching gives you a personalized roadmap, direct feedback on your work, career strategy, interview prep, and accountability. You get answers to your specific questions and guidance tailored to your unique situation instead of generic advice meant for everyone.

What if I don't land interviews in 90 days?

You become a member of the AI Native Engineer community, and you stay and keep going. Career transitions take different amounts of time for everyone, and I'm not going to abandon you if things take longer. You get ongoing support through good times and bad.

How much time do I need to commit?

Most clients invest 10-15 hours per week, but this can be flexible based on your schedule. We'll have weekly 1:1 calls plus time for you to work on projects and learning. The key is consistency. Regular, focused effort beats occasional marathons.

Do I need prior AI experience to become an AI agent developer?

Some programming experience helps, but you don't need a PhD or years of ML research. Many successful agent developers come from web development, backend engineering, or general software roles. The key is understanding how to work with LLM APIs, prompt engineering, and building systems that orchestrate AI capabilities.

What's the investment for 1:1 coaching?

Investment details are discussed during the 30-minute strategy call, where we'll assess your goals and create a custom plan. The program is designed to pay for itself quickly through your increased salary. Most AI engineers see a 20-50% pay increase.

Can I do this while working full-time?

Absolutely. Most of my clients work full-time and make steady progress. We'll schedule calls at times that work for you and create a realistic plan that fits your schedule. Consistency matters more than intensity.
