Full-Stack AI Application Development
Most AI training teaches individual techniques in isolation. This 2-day intensive connects them: participants build a complete, production-ready AI application integrating RAG retrieval, agent orchestration, MCP tool connectivity, streaming UI, and observability. Day 1 builds the intelligent backend (ingestion, hybrid search, agent logic with MCP tools). Day 2 builds the user-facing application (streaming React chat UI, authentication, deployment with Docker/CI/CD, LangSmith monitoring). Participants leave with a deployed, working application and the architectural patterns to build more.
Combines RAG, Agents, and Observability content into an application-centric format.

Through my decades in programming and management,I've always tried to make time to learn and develop both technical and leadership skills and share them with others Regardless of the topic or technology, my belief is that there is no substitute for the excitement and sense of potential that come from providing others with the knowledge they need to help them accomplish their goals.
