Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) sit between an AI product and the business that uses it. They learn the client's problem, design the solution, build it and stay until it works in production.
This series is for coders and engineers who want to learn the role. It turns real end-to-end FDE projects and courses into clear, practical articles: logistics, healthcare, HR, cloud operations, sales forecasting and e-commerce. One new part is published every day.
It follows a learning path from Basics (what an FDE does, how LLMs work) to Intermediate (discovery, requirements, RAG and agents) to Advanced (security, ML pipelines, deployment and full end-to-end projects). Read the parts in order.
