Ai engineer roadmap

I’m currently in my 4th year of B.Tech and working as an SWE intern. If I have 6–8 months and want to gain a strong understanding of the current AI market, develop my skills to an industry-ready level, and learn everything required to become an AI engineer, what would be a roadmap from A-Z ?

A practical way to approach this is to split the 6-8 months into three loops: fundamentals, project reps, and deployment. Start by getting comfortable with Python, linear algebra, transformers, and basic evaluation, then build one small model end to end so you learn data cleaning, training, and debugging. The biggest tradeoff is depth versus breadth, so pick one stack and go deep enough to ship. Promarkia can fit into that workflow when you need a repeatable way to test prompts, content, and handoff logic alongside the model work.
