The Clinician-Engineer Bootcamp
Start your path to becoming a clinician-engineer.
The inaugural cohort is free. A short, live bootcamp for clinicians. Over two weeks and around 8–10 hours total, you'll learn how to plan, scope, and ship software using AI-assisted tools. We build together as a cohort, with Brian guiding the group and giving every participant at least one 1:1 for project scoping and mentorship. The format adapts to whoever's in the cohort, and every participant ships a real full-stack app. No prior coding required.
Free
Starts June 8, 2026. Few hours a week

The didactics
What you'll learn
We are not teaching you to write code line-by-line. AI does that now. What we're teaching is the layer above: how to be the architect and product owner of your own software. You'll plan, scope, direct AI-assisted tools, review what comes back, and ship the result. About 10% of the bootcamp is big-picture didactic material. The rest is live, hands-on building done together: someone is always sharing their screen, and everyone takes a turn during the bootcamp. You're welcome to keep building between sessions on your own (fair warning: this stuff can be addictive).
How modern software ships
The path from idea to live product. Repos, branches, deploys, environments, and the pieces that connect them. You learn what they are and how they fit, not the syntax behind each one.
Working with AI as a collaborator
How to think about LLMs as a teammate, not a search engine. When to trust them, when to push back, and how to stay in the driver's seat while they do the typing.
Driving Claude Code
How to use Claude Code day to day. Scoping a feature, prompting for what you want, reviewing the diff, debugging, and shipping the change.
Shipping to production
Deploying to the public internet. Wiring up auth, a database, and the basic guardrails so a non-engineer can run software safely.
The outcome
You'll ship a real app of your own
You walk away with a working full-stack app you chose. We build together as a cohort, tailored to whoever's in it. This isn't a 'maybe you'll finish' bootcamp. Clinical apps work best because you already know those workflows, but it doesn't have to be clinical.
Bring an idea
A small workflow that annoys you, or a side project you've been putting off. Clinical is ideal, but anything you want to build works. If you don't have one yet, Brian will help you pick something achievable.
Scope it with Brian
Every participant gets at least one 30-minute to 1-hour 1:1 with Brian to trim your idea into something you can realistically ship in two weeks, plus general mentorship while you're there. The skill of saying 'not in v1' is half the work.
Build with the cohort
You're building with Claude Code as your pair, mostly on your own time. The cohort is building alongside you, and live sessions are where you ask questions, get unstuck, and see what others are figuring out.
The stack
What you'll ship on
These are the tools your app will run on. Don't worry if the names mean nothing to you yet. That's what the first sessions are for.
Next.js + TypeScript
The web framework.
shadcn/ui
Pre-built UI components.
Vercel
Hosting and one-click deploys.
Neon
Serverless Postgres database.
Clerk
Accounts, sign-in, billing.
The format
How the bootcamp runs
Built for busy schedules. Live and instructor-led, but compact.
Two weeks · 8–10 hours
About two weeks total, 8–10 hours of your time. Around 10% is big-picture didactic material. The rest is live, hands-on building done together: someone is always sharing their screen, and everyone takes a turn. Specific dates for the active bootcamp are above.
Small group, tailored
Small on purpose, so we can tailor the bootcamp to whoever's in the cohort. Most of the work is done as a group, and every participant gets at least one 30-min to 1-hour 1:1 with Brian for project scoping and mentorship. Selection is based on fit.
Live, with a 25% buffer
Every session is live and interactive, and recorded. If you attend at least 75% of the live sessions, you get the recordings at the end of the bootcamp. The 25% buffer is there for the days you can't make it. After the bootcamp, the recordings are also published as part of OpenClinTech's paid subscription.
