FUNDAMENTALS TO PRODUCTION
LLM Application Engineering
From prompt design to streaming interfaces, token economics to failure handling — you build an LLM-backed product end to end. Every module ships with a working codebase.
HANDS-ON · PRODUCTION-FIRST · NO FLUFF
Bekadan builds courses for engineers who actually ship AI products. Not demos — systems that are measured, observed, and budgeted.

FUNDAMENTALS TO PRODUCTION
From prompt design to streaming interfaces, token economics to failure handling — you build an LLM-backed product end to end. Every module ships with a working codebase.
TOOL USE & ORCHESTRATION
Tool calling, MCP, multi-step planning, and human-in-the-loop approval. Not brittle demo agents — observable agent systems that survive real traffic.
RETRIEVAL QUALITY FIRST
Chunking strategies, hybrid search, reranking, and retrieval evaluation. We build a RAG pipeline that turns "why did it answer wrong?" into a measurable question.
THE MOST COMPLETE PROGRAM
Eval sets, offline and online evaluation, regression tracking, cost and latency budgets. Ship knowing exactly what breaks when you swap the model.

Four stops from zero to production
Token economics, context management, structured output. You learn what a model call costs and where it quietly goes wrong.
LLM Application Engineering
Connecting your own data: chunking, hybrid search, reranking, and retrieval evaluation.
RAG and Data Engineering
Agents that use tools, plan, and ask a human when it matters. MCP keeps the tool layer in one place.
AI Agent Development
Eval sets, regression tracking, cost and latency budgets, observability. This is the part where you ship.
AI in Production: Evals & Observability
Real feedback from real students
We had argued for six months about why our RAG pipeline answered badly. After the eval module it turned out the problem was not chunking — it was that we had no reranking at all. Accuracy went up 31% in two weeks.
The "shrink the agent, grow the tool" framing saved our product. We cut 14 tools down to 4 and error rates dropped to a third.
Most courses stay at the surface. Here the very first lesson went straight into token budgets and latency math. That was exactly the level I was looking for.
I rolled the observability module out to my team as-is. We now see what a model swap breaks before it reaches production.
The fine-tuning workshop opened with a decision tree for "do you actually need this?". It saved us months of GPU spend.
I enrolled my whole team in the cohort. Two months later our first agent system is in production, approval flows included.
The streaming interface lesson paid for the course on its own. We halved perceived latency for our users.
After the MCP workshop we consolidated our internal tools behind a single server. Wiring up a new agent is a one-day job now.
Recordings stay available, so I came back three months later and rewatched the eval section from scratch. That access model is worth a lot.
The caching strategy from the cost-budget module cut our monthly bill by 44% without giving up any quality.
My favourite part is that every module ends with a working repo. You learn from code, not from slides.
A production problem I posted in the community channel turned into an extra lesson the same day. I have not seen that anywhere else.

Notes from production, not from the docs
Teams spend months tuning chunk sizes while the real loss happens one step later. A short guide to finding the stage that is actually costing you accuracy.
The cost per request is set long before it reaches your billing dashboard. It is decided in the product spec, by people who have never seen a token count.
Most unreliable agents are not under-prompted. They are over-optioned. The fix is usually to delete tools, not to add reasoning.
ABOUT
I have spent years working with teams pushing AI features into production. Everything I teach either worked in a real system or broke in one.
The goal is not to tour popular libraries. It is to show which decision is right when, what it costs, and how to measure it. That is why every module ends with a working repo and an eval set.
