AI SkillLab· On request
Two hands-on days building your first real agent (a goal, tools, boundaries and the ability to act), starting from use-case discovery, because the expensive mistake in agentic AI is building an agent for a problem that needed a workflow. You leave with a working tool-using agent and a reusable design template.
Dates
Scheduled on request, for individuals and for teams.

AI SkillLab· On request
Two hands-on days turning a language model into something users can actually use: model APIs, structured outputs, streaming, tool calling and an end-to-end AI feature inside a real application, with the failure handling and cost controls that make it shippable.
Dates
Scheduled on request, for individuals and for teams.

AI SkillLab· On request
Two hands-on days grounding AI in your own data and making the answers trustworthy: ingestion, chunking, embeddings, hybrid retrieval, reranking and grounded generation with citations, evaluated instead of eyeballed. You leave with a working knowledge assistant.
Dates
Scheduled on request, for individuals and for teams.

The AI Website Builder Lab. Plan your website, learn to describe it in the language AI understands, build and refine it hands-on, then deploy it and connect your own domain: a real website on the internet, not a demo. Build it with AI. Launch it yourself.

AI SkillLab· On request
Two hands-on days taking an agent from a working demo to a production system: containerised and deployed, its state persisted across restarts, failures handled without losing work, every run observable, and the operating rules written down before real users arrive.
Dates
Scheduled on request, for individuals and for teams.

AI SkillLab· On request
Two hands-on days making an AI application's behaviour measurable and dependable: an eval suite that catches regressions, retrieval and agent evaluation done separately, guardrails and injection defence, and the tracing that puts a cost and latency number on every answer.
Dates
Scheduled on request, for individuals and for teams.

AI SkillLab· On request
Two hands-on days connecting an AI application to real systems: tool calling done properly, MCP servers wired in and scoped, safe reads from a live database, business actions gated behind human approval, and the tracing that tells you what the model actually did with the access you gave it.
Dates
Scheduled on request, for individuals and for teams.

Day one turns your own application into small, secure containers: Spring Boot three ways, React under nginx, the whole stack on one Compose command. Day two hands them to Kubernetes: deployed with zero downtime, reachable on one URL, and diagnosed when they break.

SkillLab · Open
Two hands-on days that get you from Git essentials to real CI/CD: one session of Git, two of GitHub as a team, then seven sessions deep in GitHub Actions: workflows, triggers, artifacts, caching, secrets, matrices, containers, custom actions, security and a gated release. You leave with the pipeline you built.

SkillLab · On request
Two hands-on days from your machine to a public URL on AWS: a VPC you built, one deploy by hand on EC2 so nothing stays magic, a load balancer with real HTTPS, a managed database, then Beanstalk and ECS, a pipeline that ships on merge, and a Terraform rebuild to close.
Dates
Scheduled on request, for individuals and for teams.

SkillLab · On request
Two hands-on days on a real server with no graphical interface: navigating processes permissions logs networking and shell scripting, ending in a diagnosis of a live incident on a machine you have never seen before. You leave with the scripts and the runbook you wrote.
Dates
Scheduled on request, for individuals and for teams.

SkillLab · On request
Two hands-on days making a running service explain itself - structured logs a machine can query, metrics that answer a question, traces that find the slow call, and alerts that are worth waking up for. You leave having diagnosed a live incident from the evidence alone.
Dates
Scheduled on request, for individuals and for teams.

SkillLab · On request
Two hands-on days finding out why a system is slow and proving you fixed it - profiling, load testing, database tuning, JVM behaviour and a readiness review. You leave with a measured improvement on your own code and a checklist you can apply to any service.
Dates
Scheduled on request, for individuals and for teams.

SkillLab · On request
Two hands-on days making a slow service fast for the right reasons: what to cache, where to put it, how to invalidate it, and how to prove the improvement. You leave with a cached service, a measured before and after, and a cache you can reason about under failure.
Dates
Scheduled on request, for individuals and for teams.

SkillLab · Registering interest
Two hands-on days on a database large enough to hurt: window functions execution plans index design transaction isolation and the query patterns that quietly destroy an application under load. You leave having taken a nine-second query under fifty milliseconds.
Dates
Scheduled on request, for individuals and for teams.

SkillLab · Open
Two hands-on days building services that communicate without waiting for each other: topics, partitions and consumer groups from first principles, then the reliability work that separates a demo from production: retries, dead-letter topics and consumers that survive being delivered the same event twice.
Scheduled date
See the full plan
SkillLab · Open
Two hands-on days building a test suite you can actually trust: JUnit 5, Mockito, Spring Boot slices, Testcontainers against a real database, REST Assured and Karate from the outside, and a CI gate at the end, so production stops being the place your API gets tested first.
Scheduled date

SkillLab · On request
Two hands-on days connecting a frontend to secured APIs without creating new problems: the OAuth login flow end to end, tokens handled honestly, protected routes and interceptors, then the browser's own battles: CORS, XSS, CSRF and roles enforced, not hidden.
Dates
Scheduled on request, for individuals and for teams.

SkillLab · On request
Two hands-on days testing what users actually do, not just whether components render: component and integration tests that survive refactors, API mocking that keeps them honest, then real-browser end-to-end journeys with Playwright, tamed against flakiness and wired into CI with failure traces you can actually read.
Dates
Scheduled on request, for individuals and for teams.

Two hands-on days turning JavaScript into code the compiler helps you maintain: types that model your data honestly, narrowing and generics without fear, typed API boundaries with validation at the edge, and strict mode switched on in a real codebase without tears.
