4 sessions down for forward-deployed engineers, 1 big announcement ahead! 🚀

Hey aspiring AI engineer and leader,

I wanted to share the AI FDE Certification (Sessions 1–4) with you. It’s been such an incredible start! Across our first four sessions, we’ve covered some huge ground together:

• ​Session 1: Kickoff & Development Environment — Setting up our core dev stack to build fast.
• ​Session 2: Thinking Like a Product Person — Shifting focus from raw code to building user-centric AI products.
• ​Session 3: Why Local Models? — Exploring privacy, speed, and control with open-source local LLMs.
• ​Session 4: Synthetic Data Generation — Leveraging synthetic data to train and fine-tune smarter models.

What's Next: AI Engineering Bootcamp (AIE 11) We’re excited to open up our top-selling, longest-running AI Engineering Bootcamp on Maven to even more of the world!

For the first time, we’re welcoming our first UK-based instructor, Dr. Dragos Crintea, Ph.D. Founder of Hikari Labs, Dragos specializes in responsible agentic AI, semantic layers, and small language models for regulated industries.

With Dragos joining us, live instruction will now be much more accessible across European time zones. But we’ll never forget those of you who learn through replays, or brave the midnight hours with us! 😜

At AI Makerspace, we believe in learning by BUILDING. Whether you're a software engineer, developer, or data scientist, this is your chance to build a real portfolio project with live community support.

• Dates: November 10th – December 17th (6 weeks)
• Live Schedule: Mon & Wed, 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM ET

This is our final cohort of the year. Ready to get hands-on and elevate your AI engineering skills?
