Founder & Lead Instructor

  • Staff Data Engineer | AI/ML Engineer
  • 12+ years IT industry experience
  • MS Data Science โ€” Georgia Tech
  • BS Computer Science โ€” UNC Greensboro

Vincent Amedekah is an AI and Data Engineering leader with over 12 years of experience building production-grade data platforms and applied AI systems across enterprise environments.

In this program, he brings industry-first engineering principles into the classroom โ€” teaching you how modern AI systems are designed, built, deployed, and maintained in professional environments.

You won't just learn tools. You'll learn:

  • How to architect practical AI workflows
  • How to build and integrate LLM and RAG-based systems
  • How to think and operate like a production-ready AI engineer
Learning Path

Two Phases to Mastery

A staged, beginner-friendly roadmap with real projects at every step.

Phase 01Months 1โ€“3

Programming & Data Foundations

Build the technical core required for AI engineering.

  • Python fundamentals for real-world development
  • SQL for querying and managing structured data
  • Data analysis with practical datasets
  • Writing clean, maintainable code
  • Mini-projects to solidify core skills

By Month 3, you'll confidently work with data, write Python programs, and understand how backend systems operate.

Phase 02Months 4โ€“6

Generative AI Engineering

Move from foundations to building modern AI systems.

  • Working with Large Language Models (LLMs)
  • Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems
  • Vector databases and embeddings
  • Designing AI agents and workflows
  • Integrating AI into real applications
  • Capstone project: Build and deploy a Generative AI application

By Month 6, you'll have built real AI-powered systems ready for your portfolio.
