Roadmaps

(12)

Step-by-step paths through a topic: from fundamentals to production-ready skills.

ROADMAPS(12)

Frontend Developer RoadmapFrom HTML fundamentals to production-grade frontend engineering with React, TypeScript, and modern tooling.Backend Developer RoadmapFrom API fundamentals to distributed systems. Build production backends with Node.js, databases, auth, and cloud deployment.DevOps and SRE RoadmapFrom Linux fundamentals to production-grade infrastructure. Master containers, orchestration, CI/CD, monitoring, and cloud platforms.AI Engineer RoadmapBuild products on top of foundation models: prompting, RAG, fine-tuning, and production-grade LLM systems. No model training from scratch required.ML Engineer RoadmapTrain, fine-tune, and ship machine learning models to production. Math foundations, deep learning, and model serving for engineers building models, not just calling APIs.MLOps Engineer RoadmapOwn the model lifecycle in production: experiment tracking, CI/CD for ML, monitoring, and governance.Agentic AI Engineer RoadmapBuild autonomous AI systems that plan, use tools, and act: beyond single-shot prompting.Data Scientist RoadmapStatistics, experimentation, and analysis to turn data into decisions: distinct from ML engineering's focus on shipping models.Computer Vision Engineer RoadmapBuild systems that understand images and video: from classification to detection to deployment.NLP Engineer RoadmapBuild systems that process and understand text at a deeper level than API-consumption: classification, NER, and custom language models.AI Infrastructure Engineer RoadmapBuild the systems that train and serve AI at scale: GPU clusters, distributed training, and inference optimization.Full-Stack Developer RoadmapBuild complete web applications from database to UI. Master frontend, backend, deployment, and everything in between.
