I'm Mike Roberts, a technologist, educator, and founder of Creating Coding Careers. I help business leaders make their processes clearer and find practical ways for AI to support their teams. My work starts with a simple belief: technology should give people more capacity to do meaningful work.
Founder & CEO, Creating Coding Careers
40+ years in technology and education
For years, I asked my team to document our processes so we could understand workloads and improve how we worked. We bought tools, but finding the time and knowing where to start remained hard. Too much still lived in my head. Small AI experiments helped us begin improving the work and documenting it together.
Keynotes, workshops, and conversations about apprenticeships, skills-based hiring, and an AI-native workforce.
Explore Workshops & SpeakingMy background in education and apprenticeship shapes how I teach AI: start with real work, help people build confidence through practice, and keep responsibility clear.
At Creating Coding Careers, I build pathways into technology careers through apprenticeship. Running the nonprofit also gives me a place to put AI into practice, supporting our team with agents, automation, and clearer processes.
Explore Creating Coding CareersI bring the same practical approach to a business workshop: work through a real process, help the people involved understand it, and choose a next step they can own.
