Avery Yip is Director of Engineering at Handshake AI, where he helped build the infrastructure to create data used by frontier AI labs to hillclimb their models, and led the development of agents deployed into Fortune 500 enterprises. Avery joined Handshake AI to build the business from scratch across product and engineering, growing the team to over 50 engineers across five teams and scaling from 0 to over $1B in run rate. More recently, Avery has been building out a new Enterprise business unit focused on helping companies build agents they can trust to deploy into production. Prior to Handshake AI, Avery built the forward-deployed engineering team at Scale AI.

Lucy Chen leads Learning & Training at Handshake AI, where she teaches domain experts to produce the feedback that makes AI smarter and safer.

She's spent over a decade on how people actually learn. When she's not training models, she's building alternative models of education — homeschooling her triplets.

I'm a technical PM and builder who has taught more than 40k PMs, designers, and tech professionals the fundamentals of shipping software. I've been featured by Lenny four times, spoken at product conferences and events, and assisted Fortune 500 companies with technical upskilling and AI adoption.

My main goal with any course is to help you build your own mental model of how a technology or system works. Because of how fast the industry is changing, I think its more valuable to understand something from first principles than it is to learn a specific tool or product.
