I'm Sanjan B Man engineer and writer focused on making AI concepts practical and accessible.
My areas of interest:
- Generative AI systems and application architecture
- Learning frameworks that build durable understanding
- Clear abstractions over implementation complexity
I believe in learning that compounds across domains rather than chasing trends.
"The best way to understand AI is to build with it."
About This Site
This is a structured learning path for building real applications with LangChain and modern LLM tooling. The focus is on developing precise conceptual understanding and building production-ready systems step by step.
Why this course exists: Most AI tutorials teach you to copy-paste code. This course teaches you to think in AI patterns and build systems that scale.
Learning Philosophy
- Clarity over novelty – Fewer concepts, deeply understood
- Execution awareness – Understanding how components actually work together
- Precise naming – Distinguishing tools vs. agents, prompts vs. templates
- Progressive building – Start concrete, then generalize
- Testable components – Every piece should be reusable and evaluable
What You'll Find
| Curriculum | Sequenced path from fundamentals → retrieval → agents |
| Projects | Guided builds reinforcing core patterns |
| Capstone | Enterprise RAG system integrating all concepts |
Learning outcome: By the end, you'll think like an AI engineer, not just follow tutorials.
Course Structure
Part 1: Fundamentals
Components, models, prompts, parsing, chains, memory
Part 2: Retrieval (RAG)
Loaders, embeddings, vector stores, end-to-end RAG systems
Part 3: Agents
Tools, reasoning, structured workflows, autonomous systems
Projects
Chatbot → Summarizer → Knowledge Base → Assistant → Enterprise RAG
How to Use This Site
- Start with curriculum if you want the complete path
- Preview lessons by reading "Why this matters" sections first
- Build immediately – complete projects after prerequisite lessons
- Refactor later – revisit code once you learn new abstractions
- Keep notes – maintain a personal glossary for precision
