AI Learning Ramp

Course index for frontier AI systems prep.

A three-times-a-week ramp from GenAI query systems into AI infrastructure, agentic systems, evals, safety, and OpenAI or Anthropic style interviews.

Plan

Each new course page should fit one focused hour: a short reading set, a system-design frame, and one interview drill tied back to your BigQuery GenAI query-engine background. The first pass prioritizes AI engineering interview fundamentals before agent breadth.
