SNCP Certified Practitioners

The practitioners who ship.

Every SNCP is verified on live code. Every listing links to real shipped artifacts — not a LinkedIn summary. The directory opens with our first certified cohort.

Founding cohort applications are open — closes May 15, 2026.

The Directory

The directory opens with our first certified cohort.

No placeholder listings. No sample names. When a practitioner appears here, they have cleared the gate and signed the operating code.

Status

Opening with the founding cohort.

Every listing in the directory is gated by the SNCP standard. We would rather open with a small verified cohort than a large padded one.

How you will search

Filter on what actually matters.

The directory filters on verified credentials and engagement shape — not job titles. These are the dimensions available at launch.

What a profile contains

Every profile is an artifact trail.

Listings do not read like resumes. They read like a ledger of shipped work — every claim backed by a public artifact the practitioner can be held to.

Identity

Role and current focus. No vanity bios. No personal branding taglines.

Tier & credential

SNCP-A, SNCP, or SNCP-M with the credential number and issue date.

Verified domains

Only the domains the practitioner passed. Others are not listed.

Shipped artifacts

Links to merged PRs, public case studies, or reviewed write-ups that were used in the certification defense.

Engagement shape

Advisory, embedded delivery, technical panel, or training — and current availability.

Operating code signature

Confirmation the practitioner has signed the three-line operating code below.

The Standard

Three tiers. One standard.

Every tier is gated by hands-on proof of shipping — not paper credentials or course completions.

Senior ICs and solopreneurs with ≥1 shipped AI feature.

SNCP-M

Master

Principal-grade. Lead architect on multi-vendor programs.

Gate

Panel defense of a real engagement — code, stakeholders, outcome

The Operating Code

Three things every SNCP guarantees.

The deliverable is a merged PR

Not a deck. Not a readout. A commit in your repo that your engineers can point to.

They code in your stack

No vendor decks rebuilt for your context. No generic frameworks. Live coding in your actual environment.

They only take work in their verified domains

If an engagement is outside their certified domains, they refer — they don't wing it.

For hiring teams

Need a verified practitioner before the directory opens?

If you have an engagement that cannot wait, route it through enterprise intake. We match you to a practitioner whose verified domains align with the scope — or tell you honestly that we do not have one yet.

Applications Open
