We Teach People to Build AI.

Founded in 2021 by engineers who got tired of theory-heavy courses that left students unprepared for actual jobs. We built the program we wished we'd had.

Team collaboration at Wabi Tech

Our Mission

Most AI courses teach you to pass exams. We teach you to ship products. The world has enough people who can explain gradient descent on a whiteboard. It needs more people who can debug a production model at 3 AM.

We're building a learning experience that mirrors how you'll actually work: messy datasets, unclear requirements, and real deadlines. Because that's what you'll face in your job.

Our Journey

Four years of iteration, thousands of students, one clear philosophy.

2021

Foundation

Launched with 12 students and a single course. Used a rented conference room and lots of coffee. Everyone passed, three got job offers before graduation.

2022

Expansion

Grew to 200 students across four cohorts. Added mentorship program after student feedback. Moved to dedicated office space in Ramsgate.

2023

Recognition

Reached 1,000 alumni. Featured in TechCrunch for placement rates. Launched corporate training program for three Fortune 500 companies.

2024

Scale

Trained 2,400+ students from 50 countries. Introduced advanced specialization tracks. Maintained small cohort sizes despite demand.

2025

Innovation

Launched AI lab for student experiments. Added research track for advanced learners. Still learning, still improving.

Meet the Team

We're not academics. We're builders who happen to teach.

James Thompson

James Thompson

Founder & Lead Instructor

Spent eight years at DeepMind and Google Brain before starting Wabi Tech. Published 15 papers on neural architecture search, but prouder of the 2,000 students who've launched AI careers. Still codes every day.

Dr. Elena Martinez

Dr. Elena Martinez

NLP Instructor

Former research scientist at Stanford and OpenAI. Led development of language models used by millions. Joined Wabi Tech to work directly with learners instead of through papers. Believes the best way to understand transformers is to break them.

Raj Patel

Raj Patel

Computer Vision Lead

Built autonomous systems at Tesla for five years. Holds 12 patents in object detection and tracking. Teaches students to ship CV models that work on real hardware, not just benchmarks. Known for ruthlessly cutting unnecessary complexity.

Sarah Kim

Sarah Kim

MLOps & Deployment

Scaled ML infrastructure at Uber and Netflix. Expert in making models survive production traffic. Teaches the unglamorous but critical skills: monitoring, versioning, and incident response. Former bootcamp student turned instructor.

How We Teach

Project-first, theory-when-needed, always applicable.

01

Start with the Problem

Every module begins with a real scenario. Not "let's learn about CNNs," but "this medical imaging startup needs to classify X-rays." You'll understand why before what.

02

Build Messily, Refine Iteratively

Your first solution will be ugly. That's fine. You'll refactor it in week two. Then optimize in week three. That's how real development works.

03

Theory on Demand

We explain the math when you need it, not upfront. Hit a performance ceiling? Now let's talk about learning rates. Confused about architecture choices? Time for theory.

04

Ship to Production

Every project ends with deployment. You'll set up APIs, write documentation, and handle edge cases. Because a model in a notebook isn't useful to anyone.

This approach takes longer. Students sometimes get frustrated. But they leave prepared.

Experience It Yourself

What We Believe

Practice Over Theory

Understanding comes from building, not memorizing equations.

Real Over Polished

We show you the mistakes, dead ends, and debugging sessions.

Small Over Scalable

We could teach thousands. We choose dozens so everyone gets attention.

Honest Over Hype

AI can't do everything. We'll tell you what works and what doesn't.
