Educator
Years of classroom experience teaching different backgrounds, ability levels, and ways of thinking—not simply presenting technical material to technical peers.
ABOUT 10XLEVER
The useful part of AI starts after the demo.
10XLever exists to help people find the small number of tools, workflows, and decisions that create disproportionate improvements in the work they already have to do.
FOUNDER
Teacher + technical practitioner.
10XLever was founded by Nathan Engquist, an experienced educator and senior technical/security professional who uses modern AI tools intensively in real knowledge-work environments.
Before moving into technology and cybersecurity, Nathan spent eight years as a certified high-school teacher working with diverse student populations internationally. Earlier, he spent roughly three years working part time as a CNM Mathematics Instructional Technician while completing his undergraduate studies.
His applied AI work includes sophisticated multi-file AI skills, custom assistants for technical due diligence and risk analysis, and large workflow automations built with tools such as n8n. The common thread is breaking complicated professional work into systems that can be accelerated without giving up judgment.
WHY THAT MIX MATTERS
Knowing the tool and teaching the tool are different skills.
Practitioner
AI used as part of demanding day-to-day analytical and technical work, including custom workflows rather than isolated prompting.
Security Mindset
A professional cybersecurity perspective on sensitive data, permissions, failure modes, validation, and where human review remains essential.
INDEPENDENT BY DESIGN
The work belongs to 10XLever.
10XLever is an independent training and consulting business. Course materials and examples are developed independently and are not presented as the confidential methods, intellectual property, or endorsement of any employer.
The goal is to transfer durable ways of thinking about AI—not reproduce one company's internal systems.
