Gauntlet for America is not a bootcamp. It is a fully funded, 10-week, observed-performance fellowship — launched January 29, 2026 — that sources, trains, and places AI-native engineers in federal roles and with government contractors. Selection runs at roughly 2% from 5,000+ applicants per cohort. I cleared that bar once as a G3 graduate. GFA is not about learning AI tooling from scratch; it is about sharpening the government-facing delta: brownfield reliability, traceability, compliance-minded engineering, and production AI that works inside real public-sector constraints.

For a federal hiring manager, the strongest credential is not a certification. It is a portfolio of systems shipped under pressure. My G3 body of work is that record.

If you are a federal agency, government contractor, or hiring partner seeking an AI-native engineer who has shipped production systems under the industry’s most selective fellowship bar and is actively training for public-sector placement through Gauntlet for America, I would welcome the conversation. I build fast, ship under pressure, and hold myself to standards that matter when the systems are critical and the stakes are real.
