Learn to code & integrate AI
the right way, with David
Learn how to code, architect, and build real applications with AI without getting lost in broken prompts, messy code, or half-finished projects. I can teach you one-on-one, help you debug what you're building, or build the application for you when you do not have the time. I'm David, a 24-year U.S. Navy R&D engineer, systems builder, and debugger.
One-on-one with David. Real fundamentals, no bootcamp fluff.

David
Founder & lead operator
"The language is the paint. The fundamentals are the brush."
My whole career lived on the edge of technology: troubleshooting, R&D, and systems that simply had to work. Web apps, sensors, automation, neural nets, LLM pipelines. The "impossible" problems were usually the ones I got pulled into, and I got good at solving them fast.
Every client works directly with me. I don't just hand back a fix. During sessions I walk you through what I'm doing and why, so you're not left dependent forever.
System design
How the pieces fit, not just making one work in isolation.
Debugging instinct
Years of reading logs, tracing state, building the real mental model.
Honest trade-offs
When to optimize, when to ship, which corners are safe to cut.
Safe + scalable
Works today, and still works when 10x the users show up.
When a problem needs extra firepower, I bring in a hand-picked specialist I've shipped advanced systems with, never a stranger you have to vet.

We teach you to fish.
Most platforms nickel-and-dime you into dependency. Book a fix, pay again when it breaks, repeat forever. We do the opposite.
During sessions, David Solo Nerd's founder walks you through what he's doing, how he's thinking, and why the code works the way it does, so you're not left dependent on anyone. Including us.

"SoloNerds isn't about selling dreams. It's about rescue, repair, and reality. I'd rather teach you to build than make you dependent on us."
