What is the AI Engineering Mastery for Independent course about?

Many AI practitioners get stuck between notebook experimentation and real deployment. The gap isn't just technical , it's structural. Without engineering discipline, models stall in development, fail audits, or break under production load. This creates frustration, wasted effort, and missed opportunities despite strong foundational knowledge.
