This journey started as a 180-day plan.
A plan I wrote to become an AI FDE.
But honestly, I failed to work on it.
Days went by. The plan stayed unfinished. And now, only 108 days are left.
But today, I’m starting again.
What brought me back?
A while back, I wrote an article about my 180-day plan.
After reading that article, Sitesh from Code Legion reached out to me.
That interaction genuinely motivated me to restart my journey.
Sometimes, you don’t need a perfect plan or a perfect moment to begin again.
Sometimes, someone reaching out and recognizing your effort is enough to remind you why you started.
So Sitesh, if you’re reading this thank you. 🙌
Day 1 — September 15, 2026
Today, I planned out my journey toward becoming an AI FDE (Forward Deployed Engineer).
I started working on:
- 🐍 Basic Python fundamentals
- ⚙️ Backend fundamentals
- 🧠 Understanding what I need to learn to become an AI FDE
- 📚 Planning my learning journey and resources
Nothing extraordinary yet.
But I showed up.
And that matters.
The goal 🎯
I want to become someone who can:
- Understand real-world business problems.
- Build practical AI solutions.
- Work with backend systems and APIs.
- Deploy and ship projects.
- Communicate technical ideas clearly.
- Work directly with customers and solve real-world problems.
I know I have a lot to learn.
I know I’m not where I want to be yet.
But I’m willing to put in the work.
108 days. Let's see what happens.
I’m restarting my journey today.
This time, I want to build in public and share the actual process — not just the final result.
From today, I’ll be sharing:
📌 My daily progress
📌 What I learned
📌 Resources I used
📌 Projects I’m building
📌 Mistakes and lessons
📌 The reality of trying to become an AI FDE
This is Day 1.
There is no going back.
See you all tomorrow with updates from Day 2.
Let's build. Let's learn. Let's see where these 108 days take me. 🚀
