The same stuff that helped change my own career trajectory and has recruiters sliding all in my DMs. How LLMs actually work (and why knowing this helps you push back on the hype) RAG from scratch — embeddings, vector databases, chunking strategies Building with Pinecone, Weaviate, or Qdrant Structured outputs with Zod + OpenAI/Anthropic SDKs Observability with LangSmith LLM-as-Judge evals so your agents don't silently degrade There's a free project linked below where you build a LinkedIn writing clone using my actual posts and articles as training data.
