A Beginner’s Roadmap to AI Engineering 🚀📚
When I first started in the generative AI space, I began with no-code tools like Zapier ,Make , Bubble, and Retool which allowed me to automate tasks and build simple AI apps and workflows. As my confidence grew, I transitioned into more advanced frameworks, diving deep into AI engineering. It wasn't an easy journey, but the results were worth it!
If you're interested in a structured path, the "Roadmap to Becoming an AI Engineer" (by Harshit Tyagi) is a fantastic guide. It outlines the journey from a beginner to an advanced AI engineer, covering key tools and skills at each stage:
Beginner (1 month): Learn the basics of APIs, prompt engineering, and chains of operations with tools like OpenAI APIs, LangChain, and HuggingFace.
Intermediate (2 months): Dive into context-aware applications and start working with vector databases, building and deploying basic RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) apps.
Advanced (3 months): Excel at building advanced applications and fine-tuning models for specific use cases, incorporating LLMOps, multi-modal applications, and AI security.
Here are some additional resources that helped me transition from beginner to more advanced AI projects:
📚 AI Agents in LangGraph - DeepLearning.AI
📚 AI Python for Beginners - DeepLearning.AI
📚 Intro to AI Engineering - Scrimba
📚 Dave Ebbelaar - Youtube
📚 Data-Centric - Youtube Channel
📚 VRSEN - YouTube Channel
Start small, stay curious, and progressively build your expertise by following this roadmap. It's a challenging but rewarding path that can lead to exciting opportunities in AI.
