About Taylor
Hi, my name is Taylor and I teach people how to use Foundry.
During the five years I worked for Palantir, I deployed Foundry to commercial and government customers across a wide range of industries — including healthcare, transportation, media, finance, and manufacturing.
Each customer would ask me the same question: “We love the results, but how do we teach our people to use Foundry as well as Palantir’s people do?”
I never had a good answer to this. Everything I knew about Foundry came from witnessing its creation and evolution first-hand — not from any sort of structured training or course. Although I loved sitting down with a team of users and teaching them ad hoc, that didn’t scale.
Ontologize is my solution to this. Through channeling my experience at Palantir into live trainings and self-serve courses, I believe I can help anyone become a Foundry expert.
Having worked in education prior to Palantir, I know that being a good teacher depends on much more than merely having knowledge others seek. Pedagogy, the craft of teaching effectively, is just as important as subject matter expertise.
With Ontologize, my goal is to combine superb teaching with years of Foundry experience to create the best Foundry courses and trainings available anywhere.

We couldn’t have been more impressed. Ontologize's expertise in the software is evident from the get-go. They have a knack for breaking down complex concepts into easily digestible pieces, making the learning process smooth and enjoyable. We highly recommend this course to anyone looking to master Palantir Foundry.
We were thoroughly impressed. Ontologize's deep understanding of the platform, coupled with their ability to break down complex concepts into clear and digestible information, made the learning experience truly exceptional. We are now confident in our ability to leverage Foundry to drive data-driven insights and innovation for our clients. We highly recommend Ontologize to any team looking to unlock the full power of Palantir's platform.
They took the time to have meaningful conversations with our users to zero in on an appropriate curriculum, and they augmented the training to fit our needs. Throughout the training process, they demonstrated a remarkable ability to pivot and adjust the content as needed.
So far the best training I have ever attended regarding Palantir Foundry
This Training not only covers high level topics, But also discusses underlying technology. Which has given a holistic view of Foundry.
It was on point and clear. Unlearning and relearning the building blocks helps a lot...very good experience in teaching.
Very interactive way to gain hands-on experience. I appreciate we could ask questions during sessions which were immediately answered. Instructors are very skilled.
I would recommend these sessions and all of the Ontologize training for many of the folks gettng started with Foundry at [my organization]!
I especially enjoyed the last several weeks where you drilled into a specific topic in each session. The format of these sessions allowed people of differencing skill levels to take something away from each session.
You have a stellar ability to dig into deep questions while also bringing it back to high level concepts for new learners. I appreciate you!
Your training has launched an idea into an actual project
Thank you for your training in all aspects of Foundry over the last few weeks. These new capabilities have undoubtedly changed my career forever. I went from a completely bearish stance on AI’s use in the workplace to the exact opposite.
Taylor is someone I regularly turn to when thinking about the future of Foundry. His Foundry expertise is unparalleled, and his ability to effectively communicate complex technical concepts to both engineers and non-experts is truly unique. This combination makes him a particularly credible source for anyone looking to expand their knowledge and skills.
Taylor and I worked side-by-side at Palantir, where Fortune 500 C-suite clients trusted him to explain how Foundry works. He was adept at explaining complicated technical concepts in ways that a layperson could understand. His full-stack expertise is invaluable for anyone looking to become more skilled in using Foundry!
