AI Driven Platform Engineering
Ajay Chankramath
Platform Engineering & DevEx Innovator
Why would you want to take this course?
Platform engineering is rapidly becoming the backbone of modern software delivery, but manual approaches can't scale. This intensive 3-week cohort teaches you to harness AI to build platforms that are scalable, resilient, and intelligent—moving beyond static self-service to systems that adapt, heal, and optimize themselves. Transform from self-service to self-evolving: Learn to build intelligent platforms that multiply developer productivity through AI agents, knowledge systems, and autonomous operations
