Hi there! If youβre reading this post, itβs probably because youβre interested in learning about my journey to becoming an AI engineer. In this post, Iβll share with you how I started, the challenges and obstacles I faced, the steps Iβve taken so far, my future goals, and my reflections on the importance of sharing this journey with others. π‘π
Why Iβm Sharing My Journey π€π»
Before we dive into the details of my journey, let me first explain why Iβm sharing it with you. I want to inspire and encourage others who may be on a similar path or thinking of pursuing a career in AI. I also believe that sharing my journey can help me stay accountable and motivated to keep pushing forward towards my goals. So, letβs get started! πͺπ
Overview of My Journey π£οΈπ
My journey to becoming an AI engineer started with a simple goal: to achieve a basic-intermediate level of knowledge in AI within a year of studying exclusively online. I plan to achieve this by taking courses from Udemy and other platforms, reading articles by important characters within the world of artificial intelligence, and practicing as much as I can. ππ»π¨βπ»
Passion for Technology π»β€οΈ
Iβve always been passionate about technology, and I have six years of experience as a web developer, working on all kinds of web applications and static sites using Angular and Astro frameworks. But what really sparked my interest in AI was its potential to change absolutely every aspect of human life. I believe it is the ultimate tool for people to achieve their potential and achieve their most ambitious goals. Itβs a radical change, and I want to be part of the global team that is making that change a reality. ππ
Challenges and Obstacles π€πͺ
As with any new field, there are difficulties and challenges when pursuing AI. When I started, I felt uncertain, insecure, and fearful, but these feelings were overcome by the excitement and passion that pushed me to start this new journey. I know there are many challenges and obstacles ahead, but Iβm ready to overcome them with perseverance and dedication. Leaving my comfort zone and taking on these challenges will be difficult, but I know it will be worth it. π§ββοΈπ₯
Steps Taken So Far πΆββοΈπ£
The first step I took in my journey was to learn Python from scratch. Right now, Iβm focusing on learning everything about the syntax and following the documentation of this language. Itβs been a challenging but exciting experience so far. πππ
Future Goals π―π
As I mentioned earlier, my goal is to acquire at least intermediate knowledge in AI within a year. However, I havenβt given much thought to specific goals beyond that. Iβm open to changing my goals along the way as long as they fit with what I want to achieve. π€ππ¨βπ»
