Become an Agentic Architect

Carmelo Iaria

Agentic Architect, Pearson SME, ex-Cisco

Software development is moving from writing code to orchestrating agents.

This course is what you need to stay relevant—and protect your career.

In 2026, engineering value is shifting from task execution to orchestration and systems thinking. Anthropic’s research shows that being a software engineer increasingly means orchestrating agents that write code, evaluating their output, and ensuring the system solves the right problems—not just writing more code yourself. The gap between early adopters and everyone else is widening fast.

This project-based course puts you on the right side of that shift. You’ll use CrewAI and the AAMAD framework to design, build, and deploy a production-ready multi-agent AI application—with a real Capstone Project and live coaching. No empty theory, no “vibe coding” without structure: you’ll learn the coordination and context-engineering discipline that keeps systems reliable and your role indispensable.

What you’ll learn

Build your Multi-agent AI application in 6 weeks with Cursor and CrewAI—and leave as an Agentic Architect who orchestrates agents.

  • Ship rock‑solid project docs: research + requirements that AI agents can execute on.

  • Architect a production‑ready multi‑agent system with clear roles, workflows, and docs.

  • Design and build one production‑ready Agentic AI application, not just a prototype.

  • Configure your full multi‑agent stack in CrewAI: Agents Personas, Tasks, Tools, and flows.

  • Add enterprise‑grade reliability: HITL, observability, and automated QA for agents.

  • Deploy and present a portfolio‑ready capstone you can show to clients and hiring managers
