Break Into AI Engineering - A Practical Roadmap for Students & Young Professionals

​Everyone says "get into AI." Almost no one shows you the actual path — especially from Nigeria (or Africa), without a PhD and without relocating.

​This free live masterclass does. In 90 minutes, I'll walk you through the real, step-by-step roadmap to start an AI engineering career from right where you are — the same guidance I get asked for in my DMs almost every day.

​Who this is for

​Students, self-taught learners, and early-career developers who want to break into AI engineering but don't know where to start, what to learn, or what actually matters. If you've been collecting tutorials but still feel stuck, this is for you.

​What you'll leave with

​A clear 5-step roadmap you can start with right away:

• ​Get the map — what AI engineering really is (and isn't), and the roles that actually hire in Nigeria and remote

• ​Build the base — the minimum real foundation: Python, APIs, LLMs, prompting, and RAG/agents — plus what you can safely skip

• ​Get real experience — the project ladder that takes you from your first API call to a shipped product

• ​Learn in public — how to turn what you're building into opportunities (it's how a lot of you found me)

• ​Land it — positioning your CV and LinkedIn to stand out for AI roles as a junior from Africa

​Plus a live Q&A where you can ask me anything.
