· Solid understanding of SQL and relational databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc.).

· Familiarity with data visualization tools (Power BI, Metabase, Grafana).

· Basic understanding of machine learning frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, or OpenCV a plus).

· Understanding of RAG, vector databases, and LLM integration workflows.

· Experience or interest in automation tools such as n8n.

· Basic knowledge of networking concepts, including DNS, firewalls, and network routing.

· Experience or curiosity about cloud platforms (AWS, Azure) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).

· Comfortable using Linux and command-line tools.

· Strong analytical mindset, attention to detail, and eagerness to learn.

· Effective communication and documentation skills.

Learning Outcomes & Goals (First 90–180 Days)

· Build and deploy a computer vision or AI prototype, incorporating LLM and RAG components.

· Develop and deploy APIs for system integrations and AI workflows.

· Design and implement one or more BI dashboards visualizing real operational data.

· Create and automate workflows using n8n to connect data sources, dashboards, and AI services.
