Attention: CS Students & Junior Devs
Let's skip the generic tutorials:
Build A Production Fullstack AI Application
And Gain The Portfolio PowerImpossible To Ignore
Generic tutorials and basic "API wrapper" apps aren't enough anymore. Whether you're trying to break into the industry or trying to stop feeling left behind at your current job, you need real architectural experience. In this live, 2-day training, we will build a production-grade fullstack AI application from scratch and master the deep engineering decisions that make your expertise undeniable.

[ 01 ]The Problem
The “Entry-Level” Trap Is Real…
Right now, you are likely stuck in the most frustrating loop in the tech industry: you need experience to get a job, but you need a job to get experience.
You were told that graduating with a degree would be enough. You were told that following a YouTube tutorial to build a basic weather app would fill up your CV.
You were lied to.
Hiring managers are drowning in thousands of identical resumes. If your portfolio looks like everyone else’s, nobody is going to call you back for an interview.
There is still a window to level up. It is summer, and while many people pause their job search, you can use the next few weeks to build one serious project that proves you can ship in the AI era.
A wall of identical resumes
[ 02 ]The Solution
Enter The 2-Day SE × AI Challenge
Over two focused days, we build a real-world fullstack AI application from scratch. You will see the full process: architecture choices, tradeoffs, and how to talk through your approach in an interview.
01
The Full-Stack Blueprint
Plan a complex project from backend foundations to AI service integration, and show hiring managers that you understand systems, not just syntax.
02
The “Senior” Architecture Flex
How to build the database architecture, the service layer, and the UI design so your portfolio literally screams “Senior Engineer” to any recruiter who opens your GitHub.
03
The AI Taming Protocol
Build prompts and guardrails that produce structured, reliable outputs with fewer hallucinations so your AI features hold up in production.
Last Call
The Clock Is Ticking.
This is a live event, and seats are limited. Reserve your spot, show up ready to build, and leave with a portfolio project you can confidently walk through with recruiters and hiring managers.
