timeline My journey

From spreadsheets to shipping AI

I started out as a self-taught analyst wrangling messy spreadsheets, fell in love with machine learning, and spent a decade shipping data and AI systems in production. Today I teach the exact playbook I wish I had: build real projects, understand the fundamentals, and learn to wield modern AI tooling like an engineer — not a spectator.

I joined with zero coding background and within two months I had built and deployed real ML projects. The live mentorship makes all the difference — every doubt was cleared the same day. I landed a data analyst role right after.

Easily the best AI program I have taken, and I have tried a few. It is 100% live and completely build-first — I shipped a working RAG app and an autonomous agent I now use at work. Worth every penny.

The build-first approach is exactly what I needed — no fluff, no endless theory, just real projects with a mentor who genuinely cares. I went from marketing to an AI engineering role in under four months.

Ankit explains genuinely hard concepts so simply. The agentic AI module alone was worth the fee — I finally understand how multi-agent systems work under the hood, and I have built three of my own since.

The Excel-to-Power BI pathway was perfectly structured. Each lesson built on the last and by the end I was confidently presenting automated reports to senior management. Got promoted within two months of finishing.

I was sceptical about online courses after wasting money on two others. This one is different — the live sessions, the projects, the community. I shipped a real computer vision app and it is in my portfolio now.

What sets Ankit apart is that he genuinely cares about each student. I had never written a line of Python before and now I am building end-to-end data science pipelines. The career guidance was a huge bonus.

The generative AI course was mind-blowing. I built a custom chatbot for my company using LangChain and deployed it on AWS — all during the course. My manager was genuinely impressed.

Outstanding course structure. Every week we built something real. The capstone project alone added three talking points to my resume. The instructor feedback was detailed and genuinely helpful.
