( Laurence Labs )

I write books that explain hard technology to real people, build AI systems deployed in production, and teach people how to do both.

Selected Work

AI engineering on EAGLE — a Nature Medicine published model — deployed at MSK Cancer Center. Bestselling books on blockchain and crypto. Client products running in production. 31 full-stack builds in the portfolio.

Proof of Work

Six books. Forty-nine articles. EAGLE at MSK. The Federal Reserve. The World Economic Forum. The work speaks for itself.

Tiana doesn't just write about blockchain — she helped define how we talk about it. Blockchain For Dummies is the clearest technical-to-mainstream translation I've seen in the space.

The kind of expertise that comes from actually building things — not just advising on them. Her work sits at the rare intersection of deep technical knowledge and real-world deployment.

Cryptocurrency All-in-One For Dummies is the book I hand everyone who asks where to start. 392 reviews, 4.6 stars — it earned that through clarity, not hype.

We invited Tiana because she speaks in outcomes, not buzzwords. She told a room of policy makers what blockchain actually means for financial inclusion — and they listened.

World Economic Forum

Featured Speaker

What impressed me most: she builds the things she teaches. The LMS platform, the AI agents, the automation pipelines — all real, all running in production.

Santa Clara University

Adjunct Professor, Computer Science

The AI agent framework she built for our team cut our integration time by 60%. She didn't just deliver code — she delivered a system we could extend ourselves.

Let's build together

If you take your craft seriously and want software built by someone who thinks the same way — let's talk. Engagements start at $150/hr in 40-hour blocks.

My Approach

Clear scope before a single line of code. Weekly updates so you always know where things stand. Architecture designed for the version of your business that's six months ahead.

I don't do vague retainers or “we'll figure it out” scopes. Every project has defined deliverables, a real timeline, and a clear handoff.
