BASSACOURSE

Become an AI & ML engineer who ships.

24 weeks. Production ML, MLOps, GenAI, agents — taught by a working US engineer, not a tutorial farm.

Why this exists

Skip the notebook theater.

Design systems, ship models, own data → API. Built for people who already code and want the $165K–$260K AI track.

Machine Learning Foundations

Statistics, classical ML, model development — the backbone of every modern AI system.

Generative AI & LLM Engineering

LLMs, RAG, and agents that power real products — evaluated, not demoed.

Production AI & MLOps

Deploy, monitor, and scale with tools that already run in enterprise production.

Portfolio that interviews

Industry-style projects and a deployable AI product employers can open on GitHub.

Phase 1 · 2 Weeks

Python for ML & AI

Starts from the ground up — no assumed Python knowledge. Week 1 builds the core language from data types through functions and file handling. Week 2 moves into the data science stack: NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, and a first look at Scikit-learn. By the end you write code that belongs in a real repository, not just a notebook.

Mini ProjectEDA Pipeline — clean, transform, and visualize raw data with a structured ML project layout, automated data quality checks, and full Git history.
Topics covered
Python Foundation — Week 1
  • Data types, variables, and operators
  • Lists, dicts, indexing, and slicing
  • If/else, for loops, and control flow
  • Functions, scope, and reusability
  • List/dict comprehensions
  • File handling and exception handling
Data Science Stack — Week 2
  • NumPy: arrays, broadcasting, vectorized operations
  • Pandas: DataFrames, groupby, joins, reshaping
  • Matplotlib: figures, subplots, custom styling
  • Scikit-learn: first look at the ML API and pipelines
Data Analysis & Visualization
  • Distributions, correlations, and outlier detection
  • Matplotlib, Seaborn, Plotly
  • Feature engineering basics
  • Data cleaning pipelines
