Program Structure (WATCH & READ FIRST)
The goal of this learning roadmap is to reduce the noise of all the endless resources, articles, courses, certifications, and videos teaching you a variety of different topics. You are all smart engineers, so you know everything you need to learn is online for free. The tough part is having a roadmap you can trust. If you follow all the videos, courses, and resources in curated for you this roadmap, you will have the clarity you've been searching for.
Your goal is to become the kind of engineer who can build, evaluate, deploy, and explain real AI applications using LLMs, RAG, agents, orchestration, observability, safety, and practical ML foundations.
By the end of this roadmap, you will have knowledge and job-ready depth of every aspect you need to succeed in an AI-focused engineering role
How to Use This Roadmap
The roadmap is broken into separate courses:
LLMs & RAG
Integration, Agents & Orchestration
AI Ops
Evaluation
Safety & Ethics
Machine Learning Foundations
(ML foundations is placed at the end to prioritize quick wins. Heavy ML work is not required for most roles. If you want to go deeper in ML, speak with one of the experts.)
Do not try to master everything before tackling Check Point projects. These projects are meant to show you how far you've come and give you gaps for you to push yourself to learn like an engineer does on the job and like you have been doing.
If while following this roadmap of curated resources, you find a YouTube video or course that fits your learning style or you find is more helpful for you, post it in the discussion channel and tag @Bashiri Smith. That way, we can add the resource to the roadmap and your fellow members can progress with you.
