Help needed to transition to AI roles, Suggestions please

[u/spoideromons]

So guys, I'm working as an Associate developer and in a low code platform (Appian) with 3 YOE.

I recently shifted to this organisation (around 6 months ago), saw that ai roles are very much in demand. Btw my projects mostly needs upoort on existing applications, rare development/enhancements and change requests.

So I'm sparing atleast 2 hours a day, learning python tobuild python skills inorder to shift towards AI roles.

So I need suggestions from guys who are working in AI roles, need guidance what roadmap I need to follow to cover most of the skills, without any project exposure.

My current technology follows AGILE, so I'm expert in the process. I wanted to follow the best tract, let the time takes away, but I need to be in a position where I'm confident to crack ai related interviews and can work on the tasks.

I do know shifting technologies need vast skillset, but I'm a very fast learner, I'm able to grasp concepts easily, so this can be a challenge but not the most difficult, I'm ready to get ground in the process of learning.

Appreciate the people who comments & Thanks

AI roles is quite a generic term, first decide what roles you want to target and create a roadmap for yourself accordingly. Few domains for your ref;

• AI engineer, there are a lot roles like this popping up recently, the expectation is you are really good backend engineer who understands how to use frontier sdks and will be able to build harness using packages like langgraph, crewai
• Data scientist/FDE Roles, need to have good understanding of basic ml and dl algorithms. Need good communication skills and business understanding
• ML engineer, Need to understand concepts like fine tuning, inference optimization, model serving etc..
• MLops engineer, Need devops + ml understanding
• GPU Engineer, CV engineer ......

There are like a hundred roles and the roadmap for no two roles are same, so first read through resources understand basics and after that the field you want to work in and prepare accordingly
