Building Future-Ready Talent Through Practical AI & Cloud Training

Course Overview

Developer Foundations is a 6-week, project-based program built to turn beginners into confident, job-ready developers. Learners progress through core programming (Java), relational databases (SQL), front-end development (JavaScript + React), Agile and DevOps fundamentals (Git, CI/CD, Jenkins), Python automation, and practical AI/GenAI foundations.

Every week follows a structured pattern—Lessons → Hands-On Labs → Assessments—so learners don’t just “learn concepts,” they build real deliverables. By the end of the program, learners will have multiple completed projects, stronger problem-solving skills, and a solid foundation for enterprise development roles.

Building Future-Ready Talent Through Practical AI & Cloud Training

Hello,

I’m a seasoned IT professional with over 15 years of experience in training and mentoring across a wide spectrum of technologies. Currently, I serve as a Senior Manager - Mentoring & Technology at Genspark (Pyramid Consulting), GA, USA, where I specialize in shaping future-ready talent in cutting-edge domains like cloud computing, cybersecurity, software development, and automation.

With certifications in Google Cloud and strong expertise in programming, web technologies, network security, and DevOps, I’ve now expanded my focus to the transformative domain of Generative AI—a field revolutionizing how we build intelligent, creative, and automated solutions.

In this training, we’ll explore the foundations and practical applications of GenAI, including prompt engineering, fine-tuning, use cases in automation/testing, and integration with different tools. Whether you're a tester, developer, or aspiring AI enthusiast, you’ll gain the skills needed to leverage GenAI in real-world projects.

Let’s dive in and unlock the potential of Generative AI in software testing and automation. Looking forward to an engaging and insightful learning journey with you all!
