My Experience in the Future AWS AI Scientist Program

This program was a turning point for me.
Three months of challenging projects, cloud workflows, and real mentorship.

What I Built

• Dog-Breed Image Classifier
• Transformer Sentiment Model
• Model evaluation pipelines
• AWS-based workflows for training and inference

What Surprised Me

The most valuable part wasn’t the code —
it was learning how to think like an AI engineer:

• debugging GPU issues
• understanding model drift
• interpreting confusion matrices
• optimizing training loops

Why It Mattered

It gave me the confidence to take on bigger AI projects and understand
what production-level AI systems require beyond just “model accuracy.”

If you are considering a serious path into applied AI,
this program will push you — in a good way.
