About the Internship

We are looking for motivated and curious individuals to join our AI Engineering Internship Program a structured 6-week journey designed to take participants from Python fundamentals to building production-ready AI applications.

This program focuses on practical learning combining core software engineering skills with modern AI technologies such as LLMs APIs and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG).

What Youll Learn & Build

Week 1 Python Foundations for AI

You will build a strong programming foundation:

• Python basics (variables loops functions)
• Data structures (lists dictionaries JSON)
• Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)
• Data validation using Pydantic

Hands-on:

• Coding challenges focused on clean code and problem-solving
• Type-safe data parsing and validation

Mini-project:

• Build a CLI data validator that processes and validates JSON input

Week 2 APIs & Data Pipelines

Learn how real-world systems communicate and handle data:

• REST APIs and FastAPI
• Database fundamentals (SQL ORMs)
• Async programming basics

Hands-on:
