SUMMARY:Build & Learn: From Data Science to AI Engineering Week 3
LOCATION:Octupus Bar
DESCRIPTION:Saved in Palaner as: saved\n\nPalaner match: 21% · why: lots of
  people going\n\n📅 Week 3: Build Production ready AI backends\n\nThis even
 t is part of our seven-week AI Engineering program\, where we build an end
 -to-end AI application step by step and present our finished projects duri
 ng Demo Day in Week 7.\n\nThis week\, we’ll work through the key layers of
  a modern AI application:\n\nBuild APIs with FastAPI and validate everythi
 ng with Pydantic.\nContainerize with Docker and work with PostgreSQL for s
 torage.\nManage configuration and secrets safely with environment variable
 s.\nUnderstand MCP servers and how they extend your AI applications.\n\nBy
  the end of the 7 week cycle\, you should have a working AI application in
  your own GitHub repository and practical experience with AI pipelines\, A
 PIs\, databases\, retrieval\, evaluation and deployment.\nYou are welcome 
 to follow the shared project or apply the weekly concepts to your own proj
 ect.\n\n✨ Who is this for?\nThis cycle is designed for data scientists\, a
 nalysts\, software developers and Python users interested in moving toward
  AI engineering.\nNo previous LLM or AI engineering experience is required
 . However\, you should already understand basic Python or be willing to co
 mplete some preparation independently.\n\n✨ Who’s hosting?\nI’m Lindsey\, 
 a senior data scientist working on AI systems\, causal inference and data 
 products.\nI’ve worked on machine learning\, uplift modelling\, fraud dete
 ction and production LLM systems. I care about learning through building—a
 nd moving beyond AI hype toward applications that actually work.\n\n💻 Brin
 g: Your laptop\, your project and your curiosity.\n☕ Please grab a coffee 
 or drink from the Octopus Bar to support the business and thank them for p
 roviding the space.
