Put AI to work in your research, teaching, or organization.
I run hands-on workshops and consulting engagements on Claude Code, Codex, and AI tools generally — built first for economists, and just as useful for other academics and business teams who want workflows that hold up, not just an impressive demo.
Format Virtual or in person. A single briefing, a multi-day workshop, or an ongoing custom engagement — see the formats below.
Generic AI advice doesn't transfer to research or teaching.
Most guidance on using Claude, Codex, or AI tools generally is written for software developers, or aimed at generic office work. It skips the parts that matter most for a researcher, instructor, or analyst: setting up context an assistant can actually use, verifying output against a source before it goes in a paper or a problem set, and keeping confidential or unpublished material out of the wrong place. That's the gap these sessions close — with examples drawn from real research and teaching workflows, not generic demos.
What a session covers.
The same core habits, adapted to your group's discipline and tools.
- Research workflows Turning a data-cleaning script, a literature pass, or a replication into a repeatable Claude Code or Codex workflow, not a one-off chat.
- Writing & slides Keeping a LaTeX paper or Beamer deck in sync with an AI assistant without losing control of citations or formatting.
- Verification & judgment The habit that matters most: checking output against a source before it goes in a paper, a problem set, or a report.
- Reusable setups A CLAUDE.md (or equivalent) that encodes how you work once, so you stop re-explaining yourself every session.
- Version control as an undo button Git and GitHub taught as safety net first, collaboration tool second — the framing that makes it click for non-developers.
- Privacy & safety What actually happens to data you share, and how to work on confidential, unpublished, or IRB-governed material without exposing it.

60–90 minutes · virtual or in person
Briefing
An orientation talk plus live demo, shaped to your audience — a department, a conference session, a team meeting.
-
Multi-day · virtual or in person
Workshop
The flagship format: short pre-work, then hands-on time turning your own research, teaching, or business workflow into something repeatable.
-
Ongoing · virtual or in person
Custom engagement
Embedded support for a department, journal, or team adopting these tools together — setup, review, and follow-up over time.
Who it's for.
- Economics departments & faculty
- Other academic disciplines
- Editorial & journal operations
- Businesses & professional teams
- Individual researchers
Try it yourself first.
The free Getting Started with Claude Code guide is the same material a workshop builds on — a self-paced path for economists new to the command line and AI tools. No sign-up, no paywall. Read it before a session to arrive further along, or send it to your group afterward as the reference they come back to.
Read the free guideQuestions.
Do I need to already know how to code?
No. Most of the people I work with are beginners at the command line — that's the starting assumption, not an edge case.
Do you teach Claude Code, Codex, or something else?
Both, and AI tools generally. The workflow habits — context, verification, version control — transfer across tools; I pick the concrete examples to match what your group already uses or is deciding between.
Can I bring sensitive or IRB-governed data to a session?
We can, with the right setup — which is itself part of what a session covers: what a tool does and doesn't do with your data, and how to keep confidential material out of the wrong place.
Can this be customized for my department or firm?
Yes — that's the point of the workshop and custom-engagement formats. Tell me about your group and I'll shape the content and examples to it.
What happens after the session?
You leave with a working setup, not just notes — a CLAUDE.md or equivalent, a couple of real workflows, and the free guide below for anything you want to revisit.
