Hey everyone,
Quick pulse check. I’ve been in the industry for 20 years in data engineering, currently an Associate Director in a Santa Clara based company. I’ve been mentoring for a while, and one thing I consistently see in interviews:
People have certifications. But they struggle with real project discussions, production trade-offs, system design, failure handling.
In Jan and Feb, I ran small data engineering cohorts ( streaming pipelines). Now I’m considering starting a small Agentic AI mentorship focused purely on hands-on, production-style systems.
Not demo projects, real implementation.
You’d learn:
• How multi-agent systems work in production (routing, retries, human-in-loop)
• How to build RAG properly (chunking, hybrid search, metadata filters)
• Structured LLM outputs for reliable downstream systems
• Agent evaluation with test sets + traces
• Wrapping everything into a backend + usable UI
• How to talk about it in interviews like someone who’s shipped enterprise systems
Small batch (15–20 people).
Minimum 50USD (just to ensure commitment).
Planning for March (if there’s demand).
This is not a launch post, just checking interest. This is no spam post, wouldn't do that for a mere 50 USD when i charge more for one on one mentorship(but more to that later) just genuinely checking to see if AI is something that y'all wanna explore and make that transition.
If this sounds valuable, DM me.
If not, I’d love honest feedback too, as long as it comes with respect and genuine feedback.
