This course is your complete 3 week roadmap to becoming an FDE.Making this course was a total guilty pleasure for me. I loved every minute of it, and I hope you’ll love it just as much. I’ve taken all the juiciest topics in AI right now and crammed them into 3 satisfying weeks of hands-on labs, content and projects.

I cover everything making the AI headlines:

Harness Engineering

Local inference, free models, decision models like JevAgent Teams, Swarms, FleetsClaude Agent SDK and LangChain Deep AgentsADLC - the AI-Native SDLCRecursive self-improvementI researched over 300 FDE job descriptions to find the skills that are most sought-after by employers:

• Durable State and Human in the Loop with LangGraph AI Gateways and Enterprise Context LayersResponsible AI including Security and Guardrails
• Agents in Production on AWS Bedrock AgentCoreDelivering measurable results to clients with evals and observability

Over the 3 weeks we develop a commercial product with agent swarms, built with LangGraph, deployed on AgentCore. It’s the most substantive project I’ve ever built on my courses, culminating in a capstone that demonstrates what it means to be 'enterprise grade'.We use some paid APIs, but there are always free alternatives at every point; there's no need to spend a cent on AI APIs if you'd prefer not to.

The course is open to people at every level; there’s something for everyone.
