Prologue

Portfolio > certificates.

Nobody hires an AI developer for their theory. They hire you for the projects sitting on your GitHub with a screenshot, a demo video, and a one-paragraph story. In this chapter you get seven of them — each small enough to ship in a day, real enough to charge for.

Section 6.0

The Common Pattern

INPUT  →  RETRIEVE / TRANSFORM  →  LLM  →  OUTPUT  →  LOG

Every project below is a variation of this pipeline. Once you internalize it, you will start seeing it in every AI product you touch.
