Formerly in higher education, currently upskilling and looking to make the transition to an AI/ML role.
I came across the AI Engineering - AI Book Club on YouTube, and I am glad I did! Saw Sage Elliott’s Slack link in the comments section and here I am. Looking forward to meeting people, learning, and building cool stuff.

We'll be doing some exciting stuff around building in the next few months, so stay tuned!

06/06/2025, 4:53 AMThanks Sage! DataCamp has helped me tremendously. Then it is meeting, talking, and learning from people. Attending free lightning lessons from various people on Maven. The resources you and another member posted to a previous reply, such as the HuggingFace courses (which I plan on doing next). I am trying to absorb as much information as possible, as my background is in math and physics. I’m really glad I found this community.

06/06/2025, 4:56 AMI am currently reading Build a LLM (From Scratch) by Raschka. I am not sure if you guys have covered this one. I really dig the books on the list, though I will have to read them out of order to catch up. I am about to buy AI Engineering. Hands-On APIs for AI and Data Science sounds cool too.
