# Forward Deployed AI Engineering

A Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) works inside your organisation rather than behind a vendor's support desk: they learn your systems and data, build the AI integration themselves, and stay until it runs in production.

## What an FDE does

Owns the gap between a promising demo and a system your people use: reads your schemas and tickets, pairs with the users, writes the glue code and the evaluation harness, fine-tunes models on your data where it helps, and hands over a measured, monitored system.

## How an engagement runs

1. Discover — map the workflow, the data and the success measure.
2. Embed — join your channels, repos and stand-ups under your own access controls.
3. Ship — working software in your stack in weeks, with evaluations.
4. Hand off — your team runs it; docs, runbooks and training data stay with you.
