Module 1: Foundational GenAI for the Tinkerer
Strip away the vendor hype: understand probabilistic token prediction, context bloat, clean-room datasets, and how to treat LLMs as untrusted black-box appliances.
Module 2: Grounded GenAI Usage: NotebookLM & Gems (Coming Soon)
Moving from unconstrained open-web interaction to more targeted interactions and outcomes. Build structured 5-Step YAML system instructions and see how RAG and GenAI can truly help to expedite data processing and learning.
Module 3: Agentic IDEs & AI Pair Programming (Coming Soon)
Moving from reactive autocomplete and lots of copy/pasting to autonomous agent loops in modern IDEs. Build custom deterministic skills, execute planning workflows, and learn how to free up time to do more important things like learning more, or even taking a break.
Module 4: Local Open-Weight Inference & Hardware Architecture (Coming Soon)
Taking full control of your inference stack. Profile VRAM math, navigate GGUF quantization, and spin up private OpenAI-compatible REST server endpoints with LM Studio or Ollama.
Module 5: Custom Autonomous Agent Harnesses & Tool Runners (Coming Soon)
Building harnesses with Ollama and PowerShell/Python tool runners. Maximize the capabilities of an on-device model via targeted skills and constraints that you can have near full control over.
Module 6: Enterprise Cognitive Memory & Hybrid RAG Architecture (Coming Soon)
Constructing persistent memory engines and your own personal GenAI solution to continue driving the benefits of GenAI offline.
Module 7: AI-Augmented Workflows & Automation (Coming Soon)
Explore ways to turn everything you have created thus far into an agentic agent that can help lighten every day tasks and maybe one day, when you need it, help you with much more critical tasks.
Module 8: Capstone: Enterprise AI Agent & Course Wrap-Up (Coming Soon)
The final proving ground: Bring it all together and explore documenting it, writing up your own journey, and developing a plan to either integrate in your personal life or make a pitch at work.
