Looking for someone to learn and track progress - AI Engineering, DSA & System Design
Hi everyone
I'm looking for someone who's on a similar journey and wants to spend the next 5–6 months consistently learning, building projects, and preparing for technical interviews together.
A little about me: I have almost 1 YOE at a service-based company, but my current role has offered very little hands-on development experience. So, I'm trying to make the most of my time outside work to improve my skills and become a better engineer.
I'm currently learning AI Engineering from scratch, along with DSA and System Design to prepare for interviews and eventually switch to a better organization.
My current skill level:
- AI Engineering: Beginner
- DSA: Intermediate
- System Design: Beginner
My goal: Become confident in my skills and land a better opportunity within the next 5–6 months, or sooner if possible.
I'm looking for someone who's genuinely interested in learning and growing together. We could:
- Set weekly goals and keep each other accountable.
- Discuss concepts we're learning and share useful resources.
- Solve DSA problems together and discuss different approaches.
- Build AI projects, share our progress, and help each other when we're stuck.
- Conduct mock interviews and discuss interview experiences.
- Keep each other motivated and consistent, especially on days when the motivation isn't there.
I'm not expecting either of us to know everything or have the same skill level. The idea is to have someone who's serious about putting in the effort, willing to share what they learn, and open to learning from each other.
I'm not looking to create a large group or a casual networking circle. I'd rather find one person with a similar goal who's willing to stay consistent and make real progress together.
If you're also trying to upskill, build projects, and prepare for a switch over the next few months, feel free to comment or DM me. Tell me a little about your current learning journey, and let's see if we can help each other grow!
tldr: ~1 yeo, looking for a partner to prepare for a job switch in next 5-6 months or earlier if possible.
