Three pillars
What you'll master
From tokenizer basics to shipping agents—grouped the way Gen AI interviews actually run: foundations, production systems, then defense under pressure.
Core AI engineering
Models, prompts, and retrieval—the vocabulary every loop opens with
- LLM fundamentals — transformers, tokens, embeddings
- LLM integration — APIs, streaming, tool calling
- Prompt engineering — guardrails, evaluation
- RAG, embeddings & semantic search
Production AI systems
Agents, streaming UX, and backends you can defend under pressure
- AI agents & multi-step workflows
- AI-powered UI — copilots, streaming chat
- Backends — SSE, queues, observability
- System design & performance/security
Interview-ready outcomes
Trade-offs, debugging, and a capstone that ties the track together
- Architecture patterns & trade-offs
- Production debugging scenarios
- Coding walkthroughs & edge cases
- Full-stack AI mini project capstone
