Summary : Agentic AI is not about clever prompts. It is about engineering intelligent systems that can reason, plan, act, and learn reliably in production environments. Want to learn more? Run the Agentic AI Session 1 notebook in Google Colab. Building a production-grade AI agent is less about prompt engineering and more about systems engineering. While most people still think of AI as a chatbot, Agentic AI engineers see something very different. An AI agent is a reasoning engine. To be useful, that engine needs a chassis, fuel, controls, and safety mechanisms. Without these, you don't have an agent. You have a demo. Based on our Agentic AI curriculum , this post breaks down the foundational concepts that separate experimental agents from production-ready systems. 1. The Anatomy of an Agent: Core Primitives To build reliable agents, teams must share a common language. These primitives describe the essential building blocks of any agentic system. The...

Summary : Building a machine learning model is only the beginning. What truly sets professionals apart is the ability to deliver reproducible, testable, and production-ready ML systems. This post explains why automated Scikit-Learn pipelines are a critical career skill and shows a practical, CI-friendly implementation. Introduction: From Experiments to Production Training a model is step one. Shipping a model that works reliably in production is where real engineering begins. Many data scientists and ML engineers are comfortable experimenting in notebooks, but production systems demand more. They need repeatability, automation, and clear separation of responsibilities. Automated ML pipelines solve this problem by formalizing every step of the workflow, from data preparation to inference. In this article, we walk through a compact, real-world Scikit-Learn pipeline that demonstrates how production-ready ML should be built. The Problem: Manual ML Workflows Do Not Sca...

Summary : Ordinary Python developers use Matplotlib only at a surface level. This article reveals five core Matplotlib concepts that explain how plots really work and how to gain control over customization, performance, and reliability. Introduction: Matplotlib Is More Than Just plt.plot() For many Python users, Matplotlib is one of the very first data visualization libraries they come across. It often gets learned by copying code snippets from tutorials or Stack Overflow and tweaking them until the plot looks right. First, view my Matplotlib tutorial below. Then, read on. While this approach works for simple charts, it treats Matplotlib like a black box. You run commands, a plot appears, and you move on. What gets missed is the carefully designed architecture underneath that gives Matplotlib its flexibility and power. Understanding that architecture is what separates a casual script writer from someone extraordinary, who can build complex, reliable, and reusable vis...
