AI Engineer

From Python fluency to production agents

A sequenced path for people who want to build RAG systems and AI agents, then talk about that work in interviews. Each step maps to a course, a lab, or a portfolio artifact.

Who it is for: Developers and data practitioners targeting AI Engineer / RAG / Agent roles

Sequence

  1. 1

    Python

    Comfort with scripts, APIs, and virtual environments. Bridged in early labs if you already code in another language.

  2. 2

    Machine Learning orientation

    Enough ML literacy to talk about evaluation, overfitting, and when classical ML still wins.

  3. 3

    Generative AI

    Foundations course: prompting, models, evaluation, and responsible use.

  4. 4

    RAG

    Enterprise RAG course: retrieval, citations, and evaluation of grounded Q&A.

  5. 5

    LangChain

    Composition patterns used in RAG and tool-using applications.

  6. 6

    AI Agents

    Agentic AI using Programming: tools, graphs, and deployment.

  7. 7

    Deployment

    FastAPI + Docker so a hiring manager can run your project.

  8. 8

    Interview & placement

    System-design style questions, portfolio narrative, and career-hub support.
