Cohort-based Course

Build production-grade agents that get you hired, funded, and leveled up. Join 200+ builders. Don’t just learn AI. Ship it.🚢

Course overview

Join the most hands-on AI Engineering program in the field right now.

In just 6 weeks, you'll go from beginner to full-stack AI developer, mastering the latest AI coding tools and most in-demand AI Engineering skills.

Trusted by 200+ engineers, PMs, designers, and founders building real agentic apps from zero experience.



How are we different?

...


1. We introduce you to the engineering stack that is actually used in the industry!


🧠 You will learn how to think like a real AI engineer, without relying on Agentic Frameworks.


Tools you will use:


- Vercel AI SDK

- Next.js and Node.js

- Supabase for database

- Claude Code and Cursor for coding

- etc.


You can choose between the Python and Typescript tracks.


Our instructors and TAs will help you get started, even if you have never shipped a full-stack AI application before.


...



2. You will build every single day!


🧑‍💻 With Daily 10 AM PT Live Coding Sessions


From Monday-Friday, we host a live coding session that brings the week’s theme to life.

Whether it’s building your first agent, integrating RAG, or connecting to an MCP server.


You’ll watch a senior engineer, Hai walk through:


- Setting up the right project structure

- Choosing the right tools and frameworks for the use case. 

- Building a real, functional feature from scratch

- Debugging and thinking out loud in real time

- No fluff. No time-wasting. Just raw, practical building. 


So you can mirror the process and ship your own version by the end of the week.

Bring your questions. Follow along. And get your reps in.



...



3. Learn Agent Engineering in 2 Phases.



Phase 1: Master the Agent Fundamentals (Weeks 1-3)


In the first 3 weeks of the bootcamp, you'll dive straight into Agent Engineering Fundamentals with a proven learn-by-doing approach:


✨ On top of Daily Live Coding Sessions, you will get 3 Live Lectures. (See Syllabus below for topics)

✨ You will gain a Deeper Understanding of what agentic applications can (and can't) do

✨You willl join weekly Idea Refinement Sessions to improve your technical approach

✨ You will complete weekly Practical Assignments and get live feedback from our AI grader for faster itieration.


By week 3, you'll understand AI agents better than 99% of professionals in your field.



Phase 2: Time to build! (Weeks 4-6)


This is where transformation happens. You'll build a Capstone Project that showcases your new superpower:


During the last 3 weeks of the bootcamp you will get to:


Demonstrate Capstone Progress to keep you accountable and accelerate growth

Real-World Use Case Deep Dives showing exactly how top companies implement AI agents. (See syllabus)

Exclusive Guest Lectures from industry leaders sharing insider workflows and strategies. (See Sylllabus)

Final Graduation Day for your Capstone Project that proves your expertise to employers and clients



The AI agent economy is exploding.

Companies are desperately seeking professionals who can build, deploy, and optimize intelligent and reliable Agentic systems.

This bootcamp is the best place to equip you with everything you need to launch your career in AI no matter your background.

Implement every core component of an agentic system, including Prompting, Memory, Retrieval (RAG), Tool Use, MCPs, Guardrails, and Evals.

Give students an idea of how they can expect to grow throughout your course. Include specificity and precise results so students can benchmark exactly what they’ll learn.

Get fluent in agent system architecture, so you can lead product conversations,

Avoid noise and overwhelm, and make better strategic decisions.

Build a portfolio-ready Capstone Project that stands out to recruiters and hiring managers.

Become proficient in highly relevant tech stack used in the industry. (Next.js, Vercel AI SDK, Typescript, Python, Supabase, etc)

Gain confidence in debugging, navigating docs, and solving real-world coding issues on your own without getting stuck.

Learn how to think like a real Full-stack AI engineer.

Master the building blocks of Agentic AI systems, so you can architect any AI solution tailored to your own domain-specific use cases.

Don't depend on one agentic framework or library; become tool-agnostic so you can adapt to any industry changes.

What people are saying

        This bootcamp completely changed my understanding of AI engineering. Before joining, I had knowledge about machine learning and concepts like RAG from my master's program, but it was all theoretical - stuck in notebooks. Now I have the power to build anything I want end to end.
Edgar Z.

Edgar Z.

Software Engineer, Mexico
        I attended nearly every single Live Session. The hands-on approach really works! I was able to avoid all the AI noise and learned the simplest way to start building Agents. Live coding sessions showed how AI engineers actually think and solve problems. You can't get this from tutorials.
Renis M.

Renis M.

Lead Software Engineer, AT&T
        Amazing bootcamp! Went from zero AI experience to building full-stack Agentic applications. Live coding sessions were incredibly helpful. Saw how all the building blocks work together, without getting overwhelmed. Finally built a capstone project I am proud of.
Siraz Z.

Siraz Z.

Master Student, Data Science
        Every session was incredibly informative. Learned exactly what tools to use and how. Now I can build frontend, backend, and MCP servers myself. The bootcamp helped me move faster on my actual business.

  • Founder at Break Into Data (30k+ Data and AI professionals)
  • DataCamp Instructor - RAG course ( 3,000+ learners)
  • Technical content creator - Podcast Host for technical founders



Meri transformed a simple accountability group into "Break Into Data" community, now a 30k+ member community helping professionals break into AI and Data careers. Her workshops on AI and ML reached 11k+ attendees in 2024 alone, and her DataCamp RAG course earned 487+ five-star reviews.


The numbers speak: 140k LinkedIn followers, 2,200+ active Discord members, and a thriving newsletter with data professionals from Big Tech and high-growth startups.


Meri specializes in making complex AI accessible through applied learning, designing inclusive experiences like free 14-day AI engineering fundamentals and hackathons where everyone's welcome, regardless of background. 


Most importantly, she's mastered career transition strategy, helping hundreds land their first technical roles and/or launch their first AI businesses through mentorship and strategic coaching.


Featured on major podcasts including DataCamp's "DataFramed" and "Women Lead Data" as a thought leader in AI education.




Hai Nghiem

Hai Nghiem

Investor | Builder

  • Senior Full Stack AI Engineer & Instructor
  • Founder at CatswithBats.com
  • LangChain Ambassador (2024)
  • Angel Investor in YC-backed startups



Hai scaled AI Tinkerers Ottawa from 30 members to Canada's largest AI developer community (800+ members) in under a year. His model is now being replicated globally in 80+ cities. Ottawa Business Journal featured it as a "grassroots phenomenon" exclusively for elite AI builders.


Hai advises and invests in top-tier YC-backed AI startups on production-ready systems:


  • AI agents that actually ship to production
  • RAG systems (recognized expert in retrieval optimization)
  • Vector databases and pg-vector architecture
  • LLM-powered web scraping (pioneered this space in 2023)


As a LangChain Python contributor, he built one of the first viral projects combining LLMs with web scraping, establishing him as an early innovator in the field.



Fun fact: Hai didn't start with a technical degree - he studied Cinema & Economics and taught himself to code on the job. HIs unconventional path is exactly why he can break down complex AI concepts for developers from any background, technical or not.
