🚀 Understanding Generative AI: From Basics to Production (LLMs, RAG & Agents) with

Generative AI is transforming how modern systems are built — but most resources focus either on theory or superficial demos. This session is designed to bridge that gap and give you a clear, practical, and engineering-focused understanding of how GenAI systems actually work in production.

Whether you're a backend engineer, aspiring AI developer, or someone exploring LLM-based systems, this session will help you move beyond buzzwords and build real intuition.

Hi, I’m Sourav — a Distributed Systems Engineer at IBM Research, building scalable, resilient backend systems used in real-world production.

I specialize in microservices, event-driven architectures, and system design, and I help engineers break into top product companies and grow into strong backend/system design roles.

🎯 What I Help You With
System Design Interviews (HLD + LLD) — learn to think like a senior engineer

Backend & Distributed Systems — microservices, Kafka, APIs, scalability

DSA & Coding Interviews — structured problem-solving (Leetcode-style)

Mock Interviews & Career Growth — feedback, resume, and roadmap

🏗 Core Areas
Event-driven systems (Kafka, async architectures)
Scalable microservices & APIs
Caching & performance optimization
Distributed data & consistency (CAP, Saga)
Fault tolerance & system resiliency

💻 Tech Stack
Java | Spring Boot | Kafka | MySQL | Cassandra | Redis | Docker | Kubernetes | CI/CD

🧩 Mentorship Style
Hands-on, practical learning
Structured roadmap tailored to you
Honest feedback with clear improvement plan

🎯 Outcome
You’ll gain the confidence to design scalable systems, crack interviews, and grow into a strong backend engineer.
