About
Chandler Nguyen.
I still run global media operations at a major agency. My team managed paid media for Google. I led a team of 65 people across 9 offices in 6 countries. I learned to code through a lot of formal courses, and I ship AI products both at work and on my own.

Shipped Prova, an AI practice-and-review layer for the operating model the course teaches. The hard part was not the code — it was the contracts around progression, billing, auth, and state.
