Course overview

From AI Novice to Generative AI Engineer

If nothing entice you to join the course here is my offer.


As a part of this course, you will get credits* worth of $750 from various service providers - some in compute, some in platform, some in software. Also Maven has 25% discount on this course due to this being in top 100 course. With that, you get this course at no-cost. Yes, at no-cost. Why not join?


In this transformative course, you'll journey from being an AI novice to becoming a confident and skilled Generative AI Engineer. You'll gain a deep understanding of the fundamental concepts behind Large Language Models (LLMs) and their applications in solving real-world engineering challenges.


Through hands-on projects and expert guidance, you'll master the art of prompt engineering, enabling you to effectively communicate with and guide LLMs to achieve desired outcomes. You'll explore cutting-edge techniques like Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and fine-tuning, empowering you to build sophisticated AI systems that can process and generate human-like text.


As you progress through the course, you'll develop the skills to create agentic systems that can autonomously perform complex tasks and make intelligent decisions. You'll also learn best practices for deploying and monitoring LLM applications in production environments, ensuring scalability and reliability.


By the end of this course, you'll have a robust portfolio of Generative AI projects showcasing your ability to leverage LLMs for various engineering applications. You'll be equipped with the knowledge and practical experience needed to drive innovation in your organization and make a significant impact in the field of AI engineering.


Some of the tools we will use during the course are: OpenAI chatGPT, Amazon SageMaker, Amazon Bedrock, Anthropic's Claude, LangChain, LlamaIndex, HuggingFace


Whether you're a software engineer looking to expand your skill set, a data scientist seeking to harness the power of Generative AI, or a domain expert aiming to incorporate AI into your projects, this course will provide you with the tools and confidence to succeed. Join us on this transformative journey and unlock the limitless potential of Generative AI in engineering.

Learning is better with cohorts

Learning is better with cohorts

Go beyond the basics

Learning about AI for your real project is more important than theory of it.

Real world experience

I live with the content I am presenting everyday. Real world experience is coming from my own work at my current job - I am not an instructor or consultant.

Don't go it alone

Leadership is less lonely with a supportive community of peers. 


You will also join a peer community after the course for life long journey.
