3-Month 1-on-1 Mentorship Program

From Developer to AI Specialist in 3 Months

You have the engineering foundation. What you need is the AI skills, the portfolio, and the positioning to compete for roles that pay 30–50% more than your current job. This program is a direct path — no fluff, no generic content.

The Problem

You know how to build. You just haven't built in AI yet — and the gap feels bigger than it is.

Every developer who's successfully made this transition had the same doubts. Here's what actually keeps people stuck:

You're watching AI roles go to people with less experience than you

They don't always know more — they just positioned themselves differently. You have the engineering depth. They have the AI framing.

You don't know which AI skills companies actually care about

LLMs, fine-tuning, RAG, embeddings, MLOps — the noise is overwhelming. Half the tutorials are outdated or theoretical. You need to know what shows up in job interviews, not on Arxiv.

You're stuck in backend/frontend work that feels increasingly commoditized

You can feel it. The work is fine, but the ceiling is visible. AI engineering is where the leverage is — and the compensation reflects that.

You've tried to self-study but nothing sticks or adds up to something hirable

You've done the Coursera courses. You've watched the YouTube tutorials. You still wouldn't feel confident walking into an AI engineering interview. The knowledge exists but it's not a portfolio.

I was exactly where you are.

I had years of engineering experience. I knew how to build products. But I was watching colleagues with less experience walk into AI roles I couldn't seem to access — not because they were better engineers, but because they had positioned themselves differently.

I decided to make the transition deliberately. Not by doing more courses — I'd done plenty — but by identifying exactly what companies actually need from AI engineers, building the right portfolio projects, and learning how to present my existing skills in a way that AI hiring managers understood.

It worked. I landed a high-paying AI specialist role, and I started documenting the exact process. Since then, I've helped other developers replicate it — not with a generic curriculum, but with direct, hands-on mentorship that treats each person's background as an asset.

This program is what I wish had existed when I was making the transition.

The Program

3 months. A structured path, not a random curriculum.

Every month builds on the last. By the end, you have the skills, the portfolio, and the interview prep to compete for AI roles.

01
Month 1

AI Foundations + Career Positioning

  • Close the gap: LLMs, embeddings, RAG, and the ML concepts companies actually use
  • Map the AI job market — which roles fit your background, what compensation looks like
  • Audit your current skills against real AI job descriptions
  • Define your unique positioning as a developer pivoting into AI
02
Month 2

Build Real Projects + Your AI Portfolio

  • Build 2–3 portfolio projects that demonstrate practical AI engineering skills
  • Integrate with APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, HuggingFace) and ship working demos
  • CV and LinkedIn overhaul tailored specifically for AI/ML roles
  • Weekly live code reviews — your projects, your stack, real feedback
03
Month 3

Job Search + Interview Mastery

  • Interview prep for AI-specific technical rounds and system design
  • Mock interviews with detailed feedback on how to answer ML concept questions
  • Outreach strategy: how to reach hiring managers and get past automated screening
  • Offer negotiation: AI specialist salaries and how to position your offer

Results

Developers who made the switch.

"I had 5 years of backend experience but had no idea how to position myself for AI roles. After month two I had three portfolio projects and actual interview calls. I signed an offer 6 weeks after the program ended — 40% salary bump."

Michał W.

Previously Senior Backend Developer → now AI Engineer at a fintech scale-up

"What I valued most was having someone who actually made this transition, not a course creator. Alan told me exactly which projects to build, called out when my CV framing was wrong, and helped me prep for the specific questions I got in my interviews."

Anna K.

Previously Full Stack Developer → now ML Engineer at a SaaS company

"I was skeptical — I thought my frontend background would disqualify me. It didn't. By month three I understood what companies actually need from AI engineers, and I could demonstrate it. The ROI paid for itself in the first month of my new job."

Tomasz R.

Previously Frontend Developer → now AI Product Engineer

FAQ

Common questions.

I don't have a machine learning background — is this program for me?
Yes. Most successful participants come from backend, frontend, or full-stack backgrounds with no formal ML training. The program teaches you the applied AI concepts that matter for engineering roles, not academic ML theory. Companies building AI products need engineers who can integrate models and ship product — that's learnable, and that's exactly what we focus on.
I'm working full-time. How much time does this actually take?
Plan for roughly 8–10 hours per week: one 60-minute live session, a few hours of project work, and async communication. The schedule is designed around your job. Sessions are booked around your availability, and async Q&A means you're never blocked waiting for the next call.
What if I don't land a job after the program?
The program gives you the skills, portfolio, and strategy — not a job guarantee, and anyone who promises otherwise isn't being honest. What I can tell you is that every participant who executed the work and went through the full job search process landed a relevant role. If you do the work, the outcome follows.
Why is this better than a Udemy course or YouTube tutorials?
Courses give you information. This gives you a structured transition with someone reviewing your actual code, rewriting your actual CV, running mock interviews with your actual answers, and holding you accountable. The information is free. The execution support is what you're paying for.
Is 10,000 PLN worth it for someone at my level?
AI specialist roles in Poland typically pay 25,000–45,000 PLN/month, often 30–50% more than comparable backend or frontend roles. If the program accelerates your transition by even two months, it pays for itself several times over. A payment plan is also available if timing is a concern.
What exactly qualifies you to run this program?
I was a developer in the same situation — senior experience, watching AI roles get filled by others, unsure what skills actually mattered. I made the transition myself, landed a high-paying AI role, and then started helping other developers do the same. I'm not an academic or a course creator. I'm someone who did this recently and can show you exactly how.
