The Forward Deployed Engineering Bootcamp: Build, Ship & Deploy 4 AI Products!
The AI industry is undergoing a seismic shift, and Forward Deployed Engineers are at its center — the rare builders who can take an AI idea all the way from concept to production.
Most courses stop at API calls. This bootcamp doesn't. In just 6 weeks, you'll build and ship four complete, end-to-end AI products — not prototypes, not demos, but real deployments with a React frontend, Node.js backend, and a self-hosted language model running on your own infrastructure.
You'll master agentic multimodal RAG pipelines, semantic caching, knowledge graphs, distributed system architecture, and Llama Guard safety rails. You'll integrate observability across your entire stack and evaluate agents on both trajectory and outcome.
Taught by Krishnaraj & Deep — Ex-IBM & UnitedHealth Group — this program distills real-world lessons from Fortune 100 deployments.This isn't just career education: it's a direct on-ramp to one of the hottest roles in tech. Earn your maven credential and land your next top AI role.
What you’ll learn
Build and deploy 4 real AI products end-to-end: React, Node.js, a self-hosted LLM, agentic RAG, guardrails, observability, and tracing.
Wire a React frontend, Node.js backend, and a self-hosted AI model into one seamless product and own all layers from browser to inference.
Deploy your own LLM on RunPod, call it from your Node.js backend like any API, and swap providers without rewriting a single line of code.
Build agentic RAG with knowledge graphs and semantic caching — retrieval that reasons and holds up under millions of docs without failing.
Enterprise module: integration patterns for legacy and regulated systems — the security-review survival guide
Build and consume MCP servers for files, databases, and SaaS tools (Sheets, Slack, Gmail, CRMs)
Wrap internal APIs as agent tools with authentication, rate limits, and idempotent writes
