About Matthew Hastings
I\'m an AI Learning Product Manager and Education Experience Designer passionate about making artificial intelligence accessible to everyone, not just engineers. With a PhD in educational foundations and 13+ years of experience, I specialize in translating complex AI concepts into practical learning experiences that drive real adoption. Currently scaling an 130+ member community (mvpclub.ai) where I teach professionals to build applications using AI coding tools, while managing $5M+ enterprise learning deals for Fortune 500 clients at General Assembly. Recently built an AI content creation mvp that reduced development costs by 60% and secured executive investment. Vibe coder - building website and apps using AI to code. I believe we\'re at a pivotal moment where AI will transform how we work, and I\'m committed to helping organizations and individuals navigate this transition through strategic learning product development and supportive communities. I\'m interested in connecting with innovators in EdTech, AI enablement, and anyone working to make artificial intelligence an empowering tool for all. Based in Denver and always up for coffee conversations about the future of work and learning.
