Generative AI & Azure AI Engineering
90 days of production Generative AI engineering on Microsoft Azure.
A 90-day industry curriculum on the Azure-native stack covering the full enterprise LLM architecture: Power Automate/client → APIM Gateway → Azure Function App → Azure OpenAI & RAG. You master prompt engineering, Azure OpenAI APIs, embeddings and vector search, Document Intelligence, agentic patterns with function calling, LLMOps with evaluation and A/B testing — then ship 6 live capstones across Banking & Finance and Supply Chain domains.
Who this is for
- Freshers who complete an included 3-day Python & API bootcamp before Week 1.
- Experienced engineers who fast-track Phase 1 foundations and join Week 3 directly.
- Developers targeting AI-102 (Azure AI Engineer Associate) certification.
- Teams building enterprise RAG and LLM solutions in regulated domains.
Prerequisites
- Python programming fundamentals — the 3-day bootcamp covers the rest for freshers.
- Basic understanding of REST APIs and JSON.
- Analytical aptitude and comfort with cloud consoles.
Primary career path
Azure AI Engineer · Generative AI Specialist · LLM Solutions Architect
Enterprise Azure Generative AI Engineer — AI-102 & AZ-900 ready — able to design, secure, deploy, and operate production LLM applications: RAG pipelines with citation grounding, APIM-secured Function App orchestrators, and LLMOps pipelines with automated evaluation.
What you'll walk away with
Engineer production prompts — zero-shot, few-shot, chain-of-thought, JSON schema outputs, and prompt-injection defense.
Build RAG pipelines with Azure AI Search — chunking strategies, hybrid keyword + vector search, and semantic re-ranking with citation grounding.
Architect the enterprise AI stack: APIM AI Gateway → stateless Azure Functions orchestrator → Azure OpenAI via Managed Identity.
Extract and sanitize documents with Azure Document Intelligence and Microsoft Presidio PII anonymisation.
Operate LLMOps — prompt versioning, A/B testing, Application Insights observability, and Azure DevOps CI/CD.
