Data Systems & AI Integration

Data & AI Core Pathway

Advanced SQL database configurations, python scripting for batch loads, dbt model orchestrations, and AI LLM APIs.

What can you build with Data & AI?

Modern analytics rely on Python script schedulers, dbt frameworks, and AI vector search APIs. This track represents the "glue" that binds cloud infrastructure to insights. As a Data & AI Engineer, you will build:

  • SQL Transformation Models: Write tests, models, and data documentation parameters in dbt (Data Build Tool).
  • Batch & Live ingestion scripts: Program custom data extraction files using Python and Pandas.
  • AI integration: Configure vector databases (Pinecone / Pgvector) and prompt LLMs to extract insights from text fields.
