From Data Engineer to AI Architect: An 8-week open-source curriculum building a production-grade Data Contract Validator Agent.
The Agentic AI Architect: 8-Week Curriculum
From Data Engineer to AI Systems Architect.
This repository hosts the code and curriculum for the 8-week "Agentic AI Architect" roadmap. Each folder corresponds to a week of study, moving from LLM fundamentals to building a production-ready Data Contract Validator agent.
📂 Curriculum Structure
| Week | Topic | Key Concepts | |:-----------|-------|--------------| | Week 0 | The Agentic Data Engineer | The original demo. How to start thinking like an agent. | | Week 1 | The Stochastic CPU | Latency, tokens, and the "new compute" mindset. | | Week 2 | Structured Output | Making LLMs deterministic with Pydantic. | | Week 3 | RAG Fundamentals | Vector databases, embeddings, and semantic search. | | Week 4 | Advanced RAG | Hybrid search, re-ranking, and overcoming retrieval failures. | | Week 5 | Agent Orchestration | Moving from chains to state machines (LangGraph). | | Week 6 | Multi-Hop Reasoning with GraphRAG | Entity Resolution, Semantic Bridging and Explainable AI. | | Week 7 | Continued Pre-Training | Model Fine-Tuning using CPT | | Week 8 | The Bake-off | CPT vs. GraphRAG Head-to-Head. |
