> Who runs farez.ai and what it's for: free, visual lessons on how AI and coding agents work, by Farez Vadsaria, a senior software engineer.

Web page: https://www.farez.ai/about

I'm **Farez Vadsaria**, a senior software engineer, and farez.ai is my personal site: a place to learn how AI and AI coding agents actually work, taught with things that move: animated lessons, concept films and a playable game, each with a plain-text version.

## What's here

- **[The Field Guide](/guide)**: a map of AI concepts. Pick a destination and follow a route through the ideas you need first.
- **[Papers](/papers)**: the research behind those concepts, each paper summarized in plain language.
- **[The Claude Guide](/claude-guide)**: Claude Code, concept by concept, each with a short film and checked against the official docs.
- **[Agentic Coding Harnesses](/harnesses)**: a free course that takes real open-source coding agents apart.
- **[The Duel](/play)**: a 90-second game about why context is the real cost of AI agents.
- **[Projects](/projects)**: free multilingual AI apps, built as side projects with coding agents.

Everything on the site is free. Facts come from primary sources (official documentation, papers, textbooks), and many pages carry a review date that stops the site from building once it passes, so a stale fact gets re-checked instead of quietly shipped.

## Who's writing

I studied computer science at the University of British Columbia. Where I've worked:

- **Medsender** (current): senior engineer, AI voice services
- **Warner Bros** (4 years): identity and authentication
- **Amazon** (1 year): SES email infrastructure
- **Gaming** (3 years): 1 year on FIFA Mobile, 2 years on slot machine games
