Zero to AI Engineer: Full-Stack AI Engineering
Course overview

This is a complete 20-week AI engineering roadmap designed for learners who want to build real AI applications, not just watch theory. You will begin with Python programming foundations, move into data science and mathematics, then build machine learning and deep learning models, explore transformers and LLMs, design RAG pipelines, and finally deploy production-grade agentic AI systems with FastAPI, LangChain, LangGraph, Docker, CI/CD and observability. By the end, you will have a complete portfolio of AI projects proving that you can build, train, integrate and deploy AI systems end to end.

Why this course is different

Most AI courses teach disconnected topics. This course turns you into a full-stack AI engineer.

You will learn the complete AI engineering stack from foundation to production:

Write production-quality Python using functions, OOP, async and concurrency

Analyze and visualize real-world data using NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib and Seaborn

Understand the mathematics behind machine learning, optimization and statistics

Train, evaluate and tune machine learning models using scikit-learn

Build deep learning models using TensorFlow and PyTorch

Train CNNs for computer vision and RNN/LSTM models for sequence tasks

Understand transformers, attention mechanisms and pretrained language models

Build LLM applications with prompt engineering and structured outputs

Design RAG systems with document processing, vector databases and retrieval pipelines

Build production AI APIs with FastAPI, LangChain, LangGraph and Docker

Deploy, monitor and scale AI systems with MLOps, CI/CD and observability practices
