Who it's for

  • CS graduates and developers pivoting into AI/ML
  • Engineers who want to understand models, not just call APIs
  • Career-switchers willing to put in about 14 weeks of focused effort

What you'll be able to do

  • Explain and apply the maths behind ML with code
  • Build data pipelines and features in Python and pandas
  • Train, evaluate and select classical ML models
  • Build neural networks by hand, then in PyTorch
  • Work with tokenisation, embeddings, Transformers and LLM APIs; fine-tune models
  • Build vision systems: detection, segmentation, OCR and multimodal
  • Track experiments, serve models, monitor and ship with CI/CD
