I Built 48 Production AI Systems

Here Is What Nobody Tells You About Real AI Engineering

I did not study AI engineering. I built it.

For 60 days I woke up at 6 AM, opened VS Code, and shipped one production AI system every day. Not notebooks. Not tutorials. Not demos. Systems — with a live REST API, an interactive dashboard, a trained model, and a GitHub repo with a README that explains the business problem it solves.

48 systems later, I want to tell you what courses do not cover.
