About SkillUp with Sanjay
Helping senior engineers become the GenAI architects companies rely on.
Our Mission
AI is changing how software is designed, built, and shipped. But most senior engineers don’t need to “start over” — they need to translate their existing architecture experience into GenAI systems.
At SkillUp with Sanjay, our mission is simple: To help experienced engineers become production-ready GenAI Architects — with clarity, confidence, and real deployed systems.
We believe learning must be:
- Practical, not theoretical
- Production-first, not tutorial-first
- Architect-driven, not model-driven
- Hands-on with real systems, not toy notebooks
Our programs are built to help you:
- Understand GenAI through the architecture lens
- Design AI systems that actually work in enterprise environments
- Deploy production systems with observability, guardrails, and reliability
- Build a portfolio that hiring managers trust
- Move into architect, staff, and principal-level AI roles
Because real transformation doesn’t happen from watching videos — it happens when knowledge meets action, and when experience is translated, not discarded.
Meet Sanjay — Your AI Mentor
I’m Sanjay Negi, GenAI Architect and Mentor, with 22+ years of experience building and scaling enterprise systems — and helping senior engineers transition to high-impact architecture roles.
For most of my career, I worked deep in the backend stack:
Java, REST, distributed systems, integrations, deployments, monitoring — the entire lifecycle. I’ve led architecture, coding, testing, automation, observability, and production operations across large-scale environments.
But when AI exploded, I went through what many senior engineers feel today:
“Where do I even begin?
Why does all AI learning feel disconnected from real software architecture?”
Most tutorials taught toy notebooks.
Most courses ignored production.
Most GenAI examples didn’t match real enterprise constraints.
So I rebuilt my learning from scratch — but this time through an architect’s lens:
• RAG systems that scale
• LLMOps pipelines that survive production failures
• Multi-agent workflows tied to business value
• Monitoring, cost controls, safety layers, and observability
• Deployment patterns that real teams can trust
Today, I mentor senior engineers (8–20+ years experience) to do the same.
My teaching approach is:
• Hands-on (design and deploy together)
• Architecture-centric (patterns, tradeoffs, decision logs)
• Outcome-driven (6 architectures + 2 production systems)
• Deeply personalized to your background and goals
SkillUp with Sanjay isn’t a course library — it’s a career accelerator where experienced engineers learn to lead GenAI initiatives with confidence, clarity, and proof.
If you want to connect the dots between your existing experience and the next chapter in AI architecture, you’ll find a practical, structured, and supportive learning path here.
Let’s build, deploy, and grow — together.
