Course overview
From AI Janitor to AI Architect
This is not a course; it's a career transformation. Go from a reactive AI Janitor, cleaning up the messes of unpredictable models, to a proactive AI Architect.
You'll master the systematic process to stop the frustrating guesswork of debugging black boxes and start building the trustworthy, production-grade AI that gets you promoted.
The official dates for this cohort will be finalized and announced exclusively to the Founding Members waitlist. The dates listed are for planning purposes only.
Who is this course for
01
For Senior AI/ML Engineers (5-10+ yrs exp) building production systems. If you feel more like a firefighter than an innovator, read on.
02
You're tired of the frustrating guesswork of 'black box' debugging. You're stuck wasting days on manual verification instead of doing R&D.
03
Your goal: become the AI Architect who leads mission-critical projects. This is your system to earn the promotion to Principal Engineer.
Prerequisites
This is not a beginner's course. You should have professional experience building and deploying software systems in a language like Python.
Experience with machine learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn) and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) is recommended.
You should be comfortable with software engineering fundamentals like version control (Git) and basic system design.

Meet your instructor
Bartosz Mikulski
I'm not a theorist; I'm a practitioner who has been on-call at 3 AM for the exact failures this course teaches you to prevent.
I've built and debugged high-stakes systems at scale for companies like the MLOps platform at Qwak (acquired by JFrog for $230M) and the data platform at Fandom (350M+ users).
As a contributing author for O'Reilly and a speaker at international conferences like DevOpsDays and Berlin Buzzwords, my expertise is in turning unreliable AI into production-grade assets.
There are plenty of people who can explain machine learning theory. There are very few who have been on call at 3 AM because a production model they owned was failing silently. My entire career has been spent on the front lines of high-stakes, production AI.
I'm not teaching you concepts from a textbook; I'm giving you the battle-tested playbook I've built over a decade of solving these exact problems at scale. When you enroll, you get more than just content; you get access to a proven system built on years of real-world success.
