Live AI career upgrade for solution architects
Solution Architect→AI Architect
Design secure, scalable enterprise AI platforms and applications. From model gateways to agent platforms, governance, cost and deployment — live, and built for experienced architects.
Live · Project-based · Experience required · Limited cohort
This is for you if…
This track is built for you
- ✓You currently work as a solution architect
- ✓You already understand enterprise architecture, integrations and security
- ✓You have experimented with AI but haven't designed enterprise AI platforms
- ✓You want practical skills rather than another theoretical course
- ✓You want work you can demonstrate in interviews or at your current company
You are not starting from zero. We build on the experience you already have.
The transformation
Solution Architect → AI Architect
Where you are today
Solution Architect
You can:
- ✓ Design enterprise systems and integrations
- ✓ Make architecture and technology decisions
- ✓ Own security, compliance and non-functional requirements
But you may not yet know how to:
- ✕ Design enterprise AI platform architecture
- ✕ Architect model gateways and agent platforms
- ✕ Govern, secure and cost enterprise AI
Where we're taking you
AI Architect
You will learn to:
- ✓ Design enterprise AI platform architecture
- ✓ Architect model gateways and LLM access layers
- ✓ Architect enterprise RAG and agent platforms
- ✓ Secure and govern enterprise AI
- ✓ Optimize cost, performance and deployment
You won't finish with another certificate.
You'll finish having built something real.
By the end of the program, you will have built:

What You Will Build
Scan this. This is what you leave with — every project is a working artifact, not a lesson.
Project 01
Enterprise AI Reference Architecture
Design the major components of a modern enterprise AI platform.
Project 02
Model Gateway Architecture
Model access, routing, policies, failover and cost controls.
Project 03
Secure Enterprise RAG
Ingestion, retrieval, permissions and freshness at enterprise scale.
Project 04
Agent Platform Architecture
Agent runtimes, tools, orchestration, state and approvals.
Project 05
AI Security Architecture
PII, prompt injection, tool security, authorization and policy.
Project 06
Cost & Performance Strategy
Model routing, caching, latency, tokens and deployment choices.
Capstone
Architect a complete enterprise AI platform — secure, governed, costed and ready for deployment.
Demo it · discuss it · prove it
Curriculum
Every module ends in an output
Each module is built around a capability you can use — not a topic list. Expand a module to see the key concepts behind what you'll build.
Your flagship project
Architect a complete enterprise AI platform — secure, governed, costed and ready for deployment.
Demo it to the cohort. Discuss it in interviews. Show it internally. Use it as proof of capability.
Your unfair advantage
You're closer to AI Architect than you think.
You already understand enterprise architecture, integrations, security and non-functional requirements. AI architecture adds LLM systems, agents and governance to decisions you already make.
You already know
We add
Enterprise architecture
Enterprise AI platform architecture
Integration
Model gateway + MCP
Security
AI security + guardrails
Non-functional requirements
AI reliability + cost
Compliance
AI governance
Solution design
Agentic system design
Why UPGRADE
Not another AI course
Built for professionals
No “what is Python?” or unnecessary from-zero content.
Learn by building
Real systems and outputs, not passive lectures.
Production thinking
Architecture, reliability, evaluation, security and deployment.
Proof of capability
Finish with work you can demo and discuss.
The format
How the live program works
01
Before each live session
Short preparation material so you arrive ready to build.
02
Live session
Instructor builds and explains concepts in real time.
03
Build assignment
You implement the system yourself.
04
Review
Feedback, debugging and architecture discussion.
05
Capstone
Combine everything into one meaningful project.
No endless recorded-video library. You learn by showing up and building.
Your instructors
Learn from practitioners who have built and led at top technology, finance and consulting companies.
UPGRADE is taught by experienced engineers, architects, product leaders and operators with professional backgrounds across organizations such as Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Goldman Sachs, BCG and Paytm.
Not career trainers teaching from slides. Practitioners teaching systems, decisions and lessons from real-world work.
- ✓ Experienced engineers, architects, product leaders and operators
- ✓ Built and shipped production systems at scale
- ✓ Enterprise AI architecture and implementation
- ✓ Decisions and lessons from real-world work
- ✓ Practitioners — not career trainers
Practitioner backgrounds include
What participants build
Real systems, not certificates
Every cohort ends with participants demoing what they built — real systems, not slide decks. As cohorts run, we'll replace this space with actual participant work and before/after stories.
- ✓ Production AI applications
- ✓ RAG systems with evaluation
- ✓ AI agents with tools and guardrails
- ✓ Working product prototypes
- ✓ Enterprise AI reference architectures
This program is not for everyone
Don't join if:
- ✕ You are looking for a completely passive course
- ✕ You cannot commit time to actually building
- ✕ You want only a certificate
- ✕ You have no relevant professional foundation for this track
Join if
- ✓ You already have experience in solution architect
- ✓ You want practical AI capability
- ✓ You're willing to build every week
- ✓ You want to become a AI Architect
What this unlocks
Possible outcomes
Upgrade your current role
Use AI architecture to become substantially more valuable in your enterprise organization.
Move into an AI-native role
Build the skills required to credibly pursue AI Architect roles.
Build proof
Have reference architectures and governance models you can discuss in interviews.
Design independently
Stop depending on vendors and start designing enterprise AI systems yourself.
Founding cohort

Our promise to you
Attend the first live session. If you believe the program isn't at the level promised, request a full refund within 7 days of the first session.
Questions, answered
No. This is an architecture program — you'll learn to design AI platforms, agents and governance, not the underlying ML math.
Your existing experience got you here.
Now upgrade it for AI.
Solution Architect → AI Architect
Build the capability. Build the proof. Make the transition.
