Courses
The question bank answers what to practise. These answer what to learn, and in what order. Each course is a reading path through the work a Forward Deployed Engineer actually does, with the questions and concepts that go with it. Free lessons in every course, no card needed.
Grounded in real Forward Deployed Engineer interview loops and written to a senior-engineer editorial bar.

The FDE Engagement
Run a customer engagement end to end: technical discovery with a buyer in the room, an integration that survives their systems, a deployment somebody else can operate, a security review you pass, a production AI feature behind an eval harness, and the value conversation that decides whether any of it mattered.
