Python
Primary language for ML, LLM apps, automation, and data engineering.
Maturity level: L3 — Can Deploy
Six perspectives on Python
Roadmap
Start here for almost every AI engineering path.
Architecture
Implements APIs, pipelines, agents, and glue code.
Company
Required in the vast majority of AI/ML job descriptions analyzed.
Projects
Build every capstone in Python first.
Interview
Expect clean code, testing, and API design questions.
Career
Non-negotiable for ML, MLOps, LLMOps, and GenAI roles.
What & Why
What: General-purpose language dominant in AI/ML ecosystems.
Why: Libraries for ML, LLMs, data, and automation all converge on Python.
Build this
Production FastAPI service with structured logging and tests.
Production reality
- ! Memory leaks
- ! GIL limitations
- ! Dependency conflicts
- ! Slow cold starts
Interview preparation
- Async vs sync for I/O-bound ML APIs
- How do you structure a production Python service?
