Building Production RAG & LLM Systems

Course Overview

Build What Companies Are Actively Hiring For

Generative AI is only as useful as the private enterprise data it can reliably access. In this hands-on course, you’ll construct full-stack RAG systems with verified citations, low latency, and zero hallucinations.

Key Competencies You'll Build

Mathematical foundations written from pure first principles
Clean, reproducible PyTorch / Python code without black boxes
Production deployment and low-latency inference patterns
Hands-on capstone portfolio piece ready for GitHub
