We help organizations build real AI capability — not slide decks about it. Founded by a 30-year engineering veteran who builds and runs AI systems in production every day.
A one-week virtual intensive that gives leaders a working mental model of how modern AI actually behaves — and a 90-day plan to put it to work. Built around the emerging discipline of context engineering: the art of managing the finite attention of AI systems.
EquiTek provides hands-on technical leadership at the intersection of AI, engineering, and organizational strategy.
Doug Beardsley is a 30-year engineering veteran who has led teams from 2 to 20+ people, launched a Layer-1 blockchain to mainnet, and managed systems generating nine figures of annual revenue. He co-founded the New York Haskell Users Group, created the Monad Challenges, and won Best AI at the International Obfuscated C Code Contest in 2001 — a reminder that he's been thinking about machines that act intelligently for a quarter century.
Today he runs EquiTek Consulting, building automated trading systems in Rust and operating always-on AI agent organizations in production. His AI work spans agent orchestration, context engineering, structured output architectures, RAG pipelines, and agentic systems at scale. He's not reporting on AI from the sidelines — he's running it in production every day.
