An LMS, an HRMS, and a CRM — each a different stack slice, all live with CI/CD running on every push.
03
Verifiable credential
2026 Agent-Ready rubric, graded 1–5 with a public verification URL recruiters can check in 30 seconds.
04

Real-time projects

You don't watch videos. You ship software.

Three full-production projects, each threaded through the entire curriculum. By the project, you've built the whole stack around them.

Hero project · weeks 3–12

Production multi-agent backend on LangGraph + FastAPI

Build an end-to-end Python + AI agent backend — typed FastAPI service, a LangGraph multi-agent topology, a hybrid RAG layer, and an MCP server exposing your agents as tools to Claude and ChatGPT desktop.

01Live FastAPI service with Pydantic-typed contracts, async DB access, streaming SSE responses, and OpenTelemetry-instrumented routes.
02LangGraph multi-agent topology — supervisor + specialist nodes with tool calls, retries, fallback models, and replay-capable state.
03RAG layer with hybrid search across Postgres + Pinecone, evaluation harness using LangSmith golden datasets.

"Python + AI agents in 2026 aren't a chatbot tutorial. They're typed FastAPI services, LangGraph topologies you can debug, hybrid RAG you can evaluate, and MCP tools other agents can call. That's the bar I teach to, every cohort."

RATING

Manikanta is the founder of Digital Lync and brings 15 years of Python backend and AI platform architecture from AT&T, Salesforce, Cox Communications, and Broadcom — where he led FastAPI gateways, async agent pipelines, and production LangChain + LangGraph deployments for Fortune-500 banks, telcos, and insurers. Most recently he architected production multi-agent backends with MCP tooling that replaced traditional triage tiers with autonomous case-handling.

His classes get you two things other programs don't give you: a founding architect who's shipped Python + AI agents from inside the Fortune 500, and a curriculum rewritten every quarter — so when hiring managers ask about LangGraph state, MCP server design, or evaluation harnesses, you've already built it. M.S. in Engineering, Purdue University.

RATING

Ravi is Chief Technologist at Digital Lync, where he leads the AI backend and evaluations practice. After 8 years building and running production Python services and DevOps pipelines, he stepped into the Chief Technologist seat to wire LangGraph, MCP, and agent observability into the way enterprise teams actually ship — typed FastAPI gateways, async pipelines that survive partial failure, and eval harnesses that catch regressions before deploy.

His agent-backend modules are built from real incident post-mortems, not slide decks. Expect to leave with working LangGraph topologies, LangSmith eval suites, MCP servers, and a vector-DB-backed RAG service you can stake an SLO on. Ten years at Digital Lync, eight of them shipping Python in production — Hyderabad-based, hands-on, and known for the unglamorous parts of agent engineering that everyone else skips.

FAQ

Questions we actually get — answered honestly.

Straight answers on prerequisites, the Python + AI stack, certifications, and placement. If something's missing, book a 20-minute advisor call — no slides, no pitch.

Do I need a CS background or prior Python experience?+
No on both counts. Roughly 40% of every class comes from non-CS streams — mechanical, electrical, BCom, BBA, and self-taught coders. Weeks 1–2 cover the Python fundamentals, FastAPI patterns, and agent design from scratch. What you do need: consistency and 12–15 hours a week.
Will I actually build agents in production, or only do tutorials?+
You actually build. Every learner ships a working FastAPI + LangGraph backend wired to OpenAI/Anthropic, an MCP server with auth and rate-limit, and a real eval harness with golden datasets. The project is a deployed agent service inside a partner org — not a tutorial repo.
Which tools and AI models will I use?+
Backend: Python, FastAPI, Pydantic, SQLAlchemy, Postgres, Redis, Celery. AI stack: OpenAI, Anthropic, Hugging Face, LangChain, LangGraph, LangSmith, MCP. Vector DBs: Pinecone, Chroma, Weaviate. Ops: Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS, GitHub Actions.
Will I prep for AIPMM Python AI Engineer and Pragmatic Senior AI Backend Engineer certs?+
Yes. The curriculum is mapped to the AIPMM Python AI Engineer track and the Pragmatic Senior AI Backend Engineer credential. We run two full mock exams and reimburse the voucher fee on first-attempt pass.
What's the time commitment per week?+
Plan for 12–15 hours: 2 live classes × 2 hours, 1 lab × 3 hours building your agent service, and ~5 hours of project work (FastAPI, LangGraph, evals). Saturday office hours with the TA team are optional, but most learners use them.
Is placement support really 1:1, and which companies hire Python AI engineers?+
Yes — a dedicated placement advisor from week 8, not a helpdesk. Python AI hiring partners include Microsoft, Anthropic, OpenAI partners, Hugging Face, LangChain, Databricks, Snowflake, Stripe, Razorpay, Freshworks, Zoho, Postman, plus services that staff Python AI agent teams (Deloitte, Accenture, TCS, Cognizant). Resume, LinkedIn, mock interviews, and warm intros are individual.
Online, weekend, or on-campus?+
All three. On-campus at the Hyderabad flagship, live online (IST and PST cohorts), and a weekend track for working professionals. Every format ships the same shipped project — FastAPI agent service, MCP server, eval harness, observability — only the schedule changes.
What if I fall behind, or can't continue mid-class?+
Freeze your seat for up to 90 days and rejoin the next class — no extra fee. TAs run catch-up sessions every Saturday for anyone more than a week behind, and recordings of every live session are available for the lifetime of your account.
