Innovate Carolina is excited to feature Hao Dinh, founder of Grow by Design, to present the first of three workshops in a series of developing your skills utilizing AI in your workflow.

Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) has rapidly become the hottest job in the AI revolution, and a new breed, the AI-Augmented FDE, is redefining who gets to participate in the future of technology. AI-Augmented FDEs sit at the intersection of customer impact, rapid prototyping, and applied AI; they're the people who turn messy, real-world problems into working solutions at high speed, using AI as their build partner.

This high-energy, hands-on 90-minute workshop proves that you don't need deep AI expertise or traditional tech credentials to break into this field. In an era where AI handles the heavy lifting, human skills, curiosity, empathy, problem-solving, communication, are the real advantage.

Participants will step directly into the role of an AI-Augmented FDE: uncover a real customer problem, build a working prototype using accessible AI-powered tools, and iterate based on live feedback. By the end, you'll understand the AI-Augmented FDE mindset, experience the thrill of rapid delivery, and walk away with a clear, confidence-building path into one of the most in-demand roles in the AI industry.
