"I had been writing Flask apps at a mid-size company for two years. By Day 3, I had a multi-agent system in LangGraph that could do in seconds what our team spent weeks building manually. The capstone demo gave me the confidence to walk into my skip-level and propose our first AI product. Three months later, I lead the AI platform team."

BUILT BY SQUARESHIFT — GOOGLE CLOUD PREMIER PARTNER
AI Software Engineering — 5-Day Intensive
You arrive as a developer who can write code but has never shipped an AI-powered production system. Over five days, you build TalentHub from scratch — a real talent management platform that uses LLMs to analyze resumes, generate interview questions, and orchestrate multi-agent workflows. You leave with a deployed, tested, monitored AI platform on your GitHub and the confidence to build the next one at work.
- TalentHub v1.0 — production AI platform on Kubernetes with FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Redis, JWT auth
- Production RAG — resume analysis with semantic chunking, hybrid search, reranking, RAGAS evaluation
- Multi-agent interview system — LangGraph 3-agent assistant with human-in-the-loop, LangSmith observability
- Full test suite — integration tests, LLM mocking, agent workflow tests, CI/CD with GitHub Actions
- Deployment pipeline — Docker to Kubernetes with auto-scaling, health checks, rolling updates
- LLM observability dashboard — token tracking, cost monitoring, latency alerts, quality drift detection
- Portfolio-ready GitHub repo — professional README, architecture diagrams, capstone demo presentation

Five Days. One Production System.
Each day builds on the last. By Day 5, you have shipped TalentHub — 7 services, deployed on Kubernetes, tested, monitored, portfolio-ready.
DAY 1 · 9 SESSIONS
FOUNDATION — FASTAPI AND DATA LAYER
Build the backbone. Async Python, FastAPI routing, Pydantic validation, dependency injection. Wire in PostgreSQL with SQLAlchemy, add JWT auth, optimize queries, and layer Redis caching. By end of day: a fully authenticated, cached API with Swagger docs.
FastAPI Microservices + JWT Auth + PostgreSQL + Redis
Authenticated API with 5+ endpoints, async database layer, query optimization, and cache-aside pattern
DAY 2 · 9 SESSIONS
INTELLIGENCE — PRODUCTION RAG SYSTEMS
Add the intelligence. Start with RAG architecture patterns, then build a resume analysis pipeline from zero — semantic chunking, embedding models, Qdrant vector database. After lunch: hybrid search combining vector similarity with BM25, reranking with cross-encoders, and quantitative evaluation with RAGAS. End with production debugging.
Resume Analysis Pipeline with Hybrid Search + Reranking + RAGAS
Full RAG pipeline — upload PDF, chunk, embed, search with hybrid retrieval, rerank, and evaluate with RAGAS metrics
DAY 3 · 9 SESSIONS
AGENCY — MULTI-AGENT SYSTEMS
Build agency. Chain-of-thought prompting, few-shot learning, ReAct pattern for autonomous agents. Then LangGraph: graph architecture, state management, conditional routing, human-in-the-loop checkpoints. End the day with a 3-agent interview system visible in LangSmith traces.
LangGraph 3-Agent Interview System with Human-in-the-Loop
Multi-agent interview assistant — candidate research, question generation, answer evaluation — with conditional routing and full observability
DAY 4 · 9 SESSIONS
HARDENING — TESTING AND DEPLOYMENT
Make it production-grade. LLM-as-Judge evaluation, integration testing with pytest, LLM mocking for deterministic tests, agent workflow testing. Then containerize: Docker Compose for 6 services, Kubernetes manifests, auto-scaling with HPA, zero-downtime rolling deployments.
Docker + Kubernetes + CI/CD Pipeline + Full Test Suite
Containerized deployment with auto-scaling, ingress routing, GitHub Actions CI/CD, and comprehensive LLM test coverage
DAY 5 · 7 SESSIONS + CAPSTONE
LAUNCH — OBSERVABILITY AND CAPSTONE
Ship it. Wire in structured logging with Loguru, error tracking with Sentry, and LLM-specific observability — token tracking, cost monitoring, quality drift. Integrate all services. Harden for production. Prepare your portfolio. Then present TalentHub v1.0 to a mock hiring panel.
LLM Observability Dashboard + Full System Integration + Capstone Demo
Production monitoring, security audit, portfolio-ready GitHub repo, and live demo to mock hiring panel
TalentHub v1.0 — 7 services. Deployed on Kubernetes. Tested. Monitored. Portfolio-ready.
