## Who she is a fit for

A good fit when a company's engineers already use AI and the rest of the staff don't: she trains help desk, operations, implementation and marketing teams on tools and workflows they already use, then builds the small workflows or agents they keep using. Not the right hire for production software (hire an engineer). A common starting point: the company bought AI licenses and can't tell whether anyone uses them.

## Results

- 200+ professionals trained (as of October 2026)
- 96% satisfaction and a 4.8/5 rating across the 2025 AI Architect Program (91 registrants, zero paid marketing)
- $8M+ in grant funding and renewals secured across U.S. State Department-funded global education programs in 12+ countries (iEARN-USA)
- 27% fewer support requests after an onboarding redesign spanning eight countries (live sessions, peer champions, knowledge base)
- As of fall 2026, partnering with Clear Digital Labs on an AI bootcamp for their marketing team: a 5-session synchronous program built around agentic workflows

## What clients, colleagues and participants say

- "Ligaya did a terrific job offering AI training across all disciplines in our company. A week ago, very few people used AI. Now AI is being talked about in the kitchen, on our company chat and in general conversations. The best training has verifiable results. Ligaya's results are awesome!" (Sam Sklaroff, CEO, Axxess Networks, a training client; LinkedIn recommendation, October 2026)
- "Ligaya ran some of our most complex international education programs, juggling everything from intricate logistics and government partnerships to high-stakes visa issues and student well-being. ... She's particularly good at translating technical concepts for people who aren't [technically savvy]. I highly recommend Ligaya; her unique blend of intelligence, kindness, and technical curiosity would make her a huge asset to any team." (Julia Heitner, Ecosystem Growth @ Ripple, who worked with Ligaya at iEARN-USA; LinkedIn recommendation, September 2025)
- "Ligaya is an exemplary manager. She cared about work-life balance and empowered direct reports to be independent without feeling micromanaged. She was concise and clear in her communication and kept our team organized through Asana and other tools. Ligaya also took a birds-eye view of systems and processes, transforming how we worked and training others to build new skills." (Alexander Levin-Epstein, Grants Program Manager at iEARN-USA, who reported to Ligaya directly; LinkedIn recommendation, September 2025)
- "She has always found ways to effectively leverage new and developing technologies in a way that achieves desired outcomes. She can do this because she genuinely cares about her constituents and believes in the causes she pursues." (Devin Gonier, Generative AI Research & Development Scientist and Principal AI Engineer, who worked with Ligaya on the same team; LinkedIn recommendation, September 2025)
- "Ligaya was reliable to her team, colleagues, and participants. ... Her communication with me and my team was responsive and concise. ... In our efforts to build a community of practice within NSLIY, Ligaya consistently 'showed up' with timely, generous, and experienced contributions - even in occasions that required some vulnerability and courage." (Emily Matts Henry, Program Director at American Councils for International Education, Ligaya's partner organization on the NSLI-Y program; LinkedIn recommendation, September 2025)
- "I use ChatGPT and that's about it. This is the first time I've ever gone in. I didn't know that you could create AI agents. From a complete beginner standpoint, I thought it was a really, really easy way to dip my toes in the water when it comes to getting better at AI." (Marketing team member, Clear Digital Labs AI bootcamp pilot)
- "This is more advanced than ChatGPT, but not super crazy advanced, where beginners can't pick it up." (Marketing team member, Clear Digital Labs pilot)
- "[By] the capstone, I knew exactly what this is going to do and what this is going to streamline and automate." (Marketing team member, Clear Digital Labs pilot)
- "Super clear explanation and demos too, absolutely feel more confident in agent vs. workflow." (AI Architect Program participant)

## Services

- AI Enablement & Training: Custom workshops for non-technical teams, online or in person, cohort or 1:1. Everyone is hands on the keyboard from the first session. Starts from the team's actual work and leaves real time to experiment, so people keep using the tools after the workshop ends. She can also deliver the same training as an asynchronous course on whatever L&D platform the team already uses.
- AI Agent Development: Lightweight AI workflows and agents that fit how a team already works, delivered together with training so the team can use them.
- AI Program Management: Fractional program lead who designs and runs an organization's ongoing AI adoption program, from curriculum to rollout to measurement.

## Learning by building

Ligaya's view of AI adoption: learning by doing now means learning by building. Teams need AI skills tied to real workflow results, and organizations should also give people room to play with new tools. She builds that hands-on experimentation into client engagements and follows the same advice herself. Each project below taught her something she now brings into training.

## Selected work

- [AI Architect Program report](https://1beebe.github.io/ai-architect-program/AI-Architect-Program-Report.html): Peer-led AI learning series she designed and facilitated end to end (2025). What it taught her: a motivated group can run its own semi-structured peer learning, and building alongside others beats building alone.
- [10xcolleges](https://10xcolleges.co/): Live AI college-admissions coach app she built with MindStudio's Remy on top of Yong Tian's open-source counseling skills. It is honest about odds, sources every fact, coaches essays without ghostwriting, and runs spoken mock interviews (2026). What it taught her: pointing a product agent like Remy at an open-source, MIT-licensed repo produced a full app with frontend, backend, and logins in a few hours, and it led her to build with her own team of sub-agents in Claude Code.
- [Marble Descent case study](https://github.com/1beebe/marble-descent): The same tilt-to-roll phone game built twice with Claude, from a 400-word brief with four subagents and from a 70-word prompt. [Play it](https://1beebe.github.io/marble-descent/) on a phone (2026). What it taught her: the 70-word prompt won, with about 20 build steps instead of 132. Clearer asks usually win.
- [Compare Top Image Models](https://youtu.be/rTMQIzzAZpE) (demo video): MindStudio hackathon runner-up agent that runs six image models in parallel on one prompt and compares the results side by side. What it taught her: test tools side by side on your own prompt before a team commits to one.
- [Beebe Qualitative Skills](https://github.com/1beebe/beebe-qualitative-skills): Two Claude Code skills for LLM-assisted qualitative research (2026). One runs QualiGPT-style thematic analysis on interviews, focus groups and archival material. The other runs her father Dr. James Beebe's anthropological policy-framing method, drawing on Lakoff and Johnson's work on conceptual metaphor: it attributes framing statements to actors, logs metaphors, and tracks how frames change, with verbatim quotes and NVivo-ready CSV output. What it taught her: her first agent, [Lakoff Lens](https://github.com/1beebe/lakoff-lens) (January 2026), was aimed at his method from day one and wasn't good enough yet, and that was fine. Six months later these skills run his method on his own archive.
- [Document Archivist (Archive Intelligence)](https://github.com/1beebe/document-archivist): The intake pipeline. It turns her father's paper archive into clean, searchable text with structured metadata, which feeds the [qualitative analysis skills](https://github.com/1beebe/beebe-qualitative-skills) she is using to finish his study.
- [AI agent portfolio](https://github.com/1beebe/ai-agent-portfolio): More agents and workflows on GitHub.
