AI / ML Engineer Roadmap

Go from Python basics to building and deploying real machine-learning and AI agent systems.

A practical AI engineering path focused on shipping, not just theory. You move from programming and data through classic machine learning, deep learning and modern LLM applications, finishing with how to deploy and operate AI in production the way NUEXUS does for clients.
