This page from Plank describes its AI FDE Course, a 40-day program that trains full-stack TypeScript engineers as forward deployed engineers. It defines an FDE as a software engineer who embeds within a customer's organization, writes production code against real customer data and systems, and owns whether the product delivers results rather than merely ships. The curriculum covers an AI-powered development workflow plus building production AI systems: chat, agents, retrieval, voice, integrations, infrastructure, and enterprise deployment, with each day ending in a working build. The page lists 8 engineers, only 1 with completed days so far, and shows public profiles containing each engineer's name, GitHub account, a dated timeline of completed course days, and a skill set weighted by how many completed days cover each tool or technique. Profiles update as days are marked complete.
