We build the people for the industries that keep the country running.

I've spent more than 20 years building software and education experiences at companies like Apple and General Assembly, as well as through my own startups. But when it came time for me to find my next role, I experienced the system from the other side, and I got rejected at the intro screen, rejected after technical assignments, and even found myself having to prove my value months into roles. I realized the process was broken in ways I hadn't fully understood, especially as AI now writes resumes and helps companies qualify them.

So I went on a discovery mission. A Motor Valley professor shared the challenge of evaluating junior engineers who lacked the confidence and evidence to demonstrate what they knew. An IL high school CTE teacher described the challenge of preparing students for careers that are changing faster than education can keep up. A startup CEO shared how difficult it was for interns to absorb the organization's tribal knowledge during weekly standups. Different people, different stages of life, the same underlying challenge: people are constantly learning, but struggle to turn that learning into confidence, capability, and proof.

PromptHaus is my attempt to solve that grand challenge. It will evolve, and some things won't work. But I believe I'm meant to tackle this mission: helping people build skills, practice them, and create proof of what they can actually do. If you're thinking about this problem too, I'd love to hear from you (opens in a new tab) and learn how you'd like to help.
