What you'll learn

  • Ensure security and ethical compliance in AI deployments
  • Implement local model management systems for optimized inference
  • Design effective prompts using chain-of-thought techniques
  • Compare open-source versus commercial GenAI ecosystems
  • Configure development environments using Docker, Python, and Node.js
  • Develop data ingestion pipelines utilizing vector databases
  • Integrate LangChain framework components for enterprise solutions
  • Navigate transformer architectures within the Hugging Face ecosystem

Why should you attend?

This course provides an in-depth exploration of the open-source Generative AI landscape, offering a comprehensive understanding of both the ecosystem and the technical setup required to thrive within it. Participants will begin by comparing open-source and commercial GenAI ecosystems, learning how to configure development environments using tools like Docker, Python, and Node.js. The course also covers essential hardware requirements and optimization strategies to ensure efficient AI model deployment. As learners progress, they will delve into local model management and inference techniques, comparing platforms such as LM Studio and Ollama. This includes hands-on labs for setting up multiple model management systems, downloading models, quantization, optimization, and benchmarking local inference performance. Prompt engineering fundamentals are also covered extensively, with a focus on design patterns, best practices, and evaluation methodologies. The curriculum further explores advanced topics such as LLM architecture with a deep dive into transformer architectures and the Hugging Face ecosystem. Students will learn about tokenization, embeddings, and fine-tuning basics through practical labs. Data preprocessing strategies are discussed alongside vector database options like Chroma and FAISS. Participants will gain insights into frameworks like LangChain for enterprise knowledge management and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) using LlamaIndex. The course also emphasizes type-safe AI development with PydanticAI for structured data extraction and validation. Finally, students will explore AI agents and automation frameworks, multimodal AI capabilities, production deployment strategies with MLOps, security considerations in AI systems, and integration projects for performance optimization.

He was indeed very skilled, knowledgeable and passionate in the data science realm. I was impressed with his business know-how (how the world economy works and how all things can be explain with data, with/without bias) and technical skills in converting data into insights. I will not hesitate to recommend Tarun for any data science related training as I would like to attend more classes myself to learn from the best of the best.

I attended one of Tarun's Data Science course in Jakarta (CDSS). He was a professional trainer & very knowledgeable in Data Science. In his course, Tarun gave many practical examples & valuable information regarding how to conduct Data Science & it's related components (e.g. Software & Deployment Architecture). In addition to those lessons, he also gave very useful insights on building a career as a Data Scientist.

Training with Tarun has been awesome. He’s super knowledgable, funny, empathetic and a great educator in general. As someone who didn’t come from a computer science background, his teachings didn’t make me feel stupid or impossible to eventually arrive at being a competent developer. I could understand him as he communicates well & has helped me see the big picture of the computer science field beyond the scope of syntaxes. If you similarly did not come from a CS background and hope to transition into the world of programming but struggle to learn on your own, understand all the foreign & abstract concepts and connect the dots, I think the right person to guide you on your journey would make a big difference. Having someone who’s deep in the field with many years of experience narrow and communicate the relevant areas to focus would also close a big gap from having to struggle and figure out a lot of things on your own. Being able to maintain your interest during your learning journey is important too, thus finding that someone is important. All in all, I would wholeheartedly recommend Tarun and the backend course I took.
