Using AI is not building AI.
Using powerful tools is a start. The next step is learning to engineer systems that retrieve, reason, act, recover and ship.
Using AI
- Asking
- Copying
- Pasting
- Prompting
Building AI
- Designing systems
- Writing code
- Solving real problems
- Creating working proof
Lead instructor
Taught by an engineer who ships production software.

I Build. I Ship. I Teach.The output
A certificate is a claim. A URL is proof.
Project on your laptop
- Runs only for you
- Stops at the demo
- Difficult to prove
- Disappears into a folder
System you've shipped
- Has a live URL
- Has a repository
- Can be demonstrated
- Becomes portfolio evidence
Nine projects. Built to become proof of work.

How you learn
Learn by building. Ship by learning.
Activity-Based Learning
Build during the session.
Project-Based Learning
Your projects are the assessment.
Domain-Based Learning
Build in a domain you care about.
Foundations
Python Git/GitHub REST APIs JSON LLM APIs Structured outputs
Retrieval
Embeddings ChromaDB Vector stores Semantic retrieval Hybrid retrieval RAG
Agentic systems
Tool calling ReAct Agent memory MCP LangChain LangGraph Human-in-the-loop Multi-agent orchestration Guardrails Evaluations
Understand the patterns. Then use the tools. Pure Python first. Frameworks second.
Who this is for
You don't need to be an AI engineer yet. But you should already know how to build software.
This is for you if…
- You're a developer moving into AI engineering.
- You follow AI but haven't built substantial systems yet.
- You can code but have nothing meaningful deployed in AI.
- You're building your own AI product.
You do not need: prior professional AI engineering experience.
You do need: a coding/software foundation and willingness to build.
This is not for…
- Complete coding beginners
- Certificate collectors
- Passive learners
- People wanting AI theory without engineering

Ten weeks to build a portfolio of working AI systems.
- 50 instructor-led live sessions
- 9 progressively built projects
- 1:1 portfolio review
- Weekday or weekend track
- Recordings for missed sessions
- Maximum 40 participants
