Programs
Connected pathways for serious academic and technical growth
Every program is led personally by Edward Mabonga, an MIT-EECS-trained senior software engineer, and connected through the same diagnose, build, test, measure, and re-prioritize method.
The Pristone Method
One capability loop across every track.
- Diagnose
- Prioritize
- Build
- Test transfer
- Measure
- Re-prioritize
