Python & AI Agents
A career-focused, code-first program: build strong Python, SQL, FastAPI and automation foundations, then build AI agents with the Claude Agent SDK, OpenAI Agents SDK and LangGraph — wired to tools through MCP, grounded with RAG, and shipped with evals, guardrails and observability.
What is the Python & AI Agents program?
A Python engineer writes the code behind automation, back-end services and AI — and now the agents that reason, call tools and act on real systems. Most Python courses end at scripts and a Flask app; most AI courses end at a chatbot. This program ends only when you have shipped a FastAPI service with agents built on the Claude Agent SDK or LangGraph, MCP tools you wrote, RAG grounding, an eval harness, guardrails and tracing — deployed and used by real people.
- •Python syntax, OOP, typing & async
- •SQL, SQLAlchemy & PostgreSQL
- •pytest, Ruff, uv & packaging
- •Automation, CLIs & scraping
- •FastAPI services, auth & Docker
- •LLM engineering, structured outputs & tools
- •RAG with pgvector & embeddings
- •Agents with Claude Agent SDK, OpenAI Agents SDK & LangGraph
- •MCP servers with FastMCP
- •Evals, guardrails & tracing
- •CI/CD & cloud deployment
- •Coding-agent workflows with Claude Code & Cursor
Python became the language of AI. Python engineers build the agents.
What this means for your career: Python roles now ask for agent frameworks, MCP, RAG and evals alongside FastAPI and SQL — the differentiator is a deployed agent service with MCP tools, an eval harness and tracing, not a folder of scripts.
Built for people starting in Python — and going straight to agents.
Prior experience: none required — Python is taught from scratch. The program builds programming, SQL and API foundations before LLM engineering, agents and production delivery.
Write real Python — and ship agents that work.
Twelve sections. 60 modules. Python → SQL → FastAPI → Automation → LLMs → RAG → Agents → MCP → Ship.

Capstone, Portfolio & Career
32+ Python & AI agent tools, one production project.
Not a shallow tour. You'll use every one of these in at least one graded exercise.
You don't watch videos. You ship software.
Three portfolio projects and a partner capstone, each threaded through the entire curriculum — Python, FastAPI, agents, MCP and evals all land in real deliverables.
Production multi-agent backend on LangGraph + FastAPI
Build an end-to-end Python & AI agent backend — typed FastAPI service, a LangGraph multi-agent topology, a hybrid RAG layer, and an MCP server exposing your agents as tools to Claude and ChatGPT desktop.
Async pipeline + eval harness
Build a Celery/Temporal-driven async agent pipeline with a Prefect orchestrator, a golden-dataset eval suite, regression tests on every PR, and a dashboard tracking hallucination + cost guardrails.
RAG service auto-tuner
Stand up a self-tuning RAG service: hybrid retrieval, automatic chunk size + embedding model A/B testing, latency/cost SLOs, and an autonomous agent that picks the best config per workspace.
Your AI Python agent in a controlled project environment.
Pick a real partner workflow. Deploy a production Python + LangGraph agent service with MCP tooling, evaluation, and observability — into a partner team that's running it for real users.
Taught by engineers who shipped Python AI agents to production.
Manikanta is the founder of Edify Nuva and brings 15 years of Python backend and AI platform architecture from AT&T, Salesforce, Cox Communications, and Broadcom — where he led FastAPI gateways, async agent pipelines, and production LangChain + LangGraph deployments for Fortune-500 banks, telcos, and insurers. Most recently he architected production multi-agent backends with MCP tooling that replaced traditional triage tiers with autonomous case-handling.
His classes get you two things other programs don't give you: a founding architect who's shipped Python & AI agents from inside the Fortune 500, and a curriculum rewritten every quarter — so when hiring managers ask about LangGraph state, MCP server design, or evaluation harnesses, you've already built it. M.S. in Engineering, Purdue University.
Ravi is Chief Technologist at Edify Nuva, where he leads the AI backend and evaluations practice. After 8 years building and running production Python services and DevOps pipelines, he stepped into the Chief Technologist seat to wire LangGraph, MCP, and agent observability into the way enterprise teams actually ship — typed FastAPI gateways, async pipelines that survive partial failure, and eval harnesses that catch regressions before deploy.
His agent-backend modules are built from real incident post-mortems, not slide decks. Expect to leave with working LangGraph topologies, LangSmith eval suites, MCP servers, and a vector-DB-backed RAG service you can stake an SLO on. Ten years at Edify Nuva, eight of them shipping Python in production — Hyderabad-based, hands-on, and known for the unglamorous parts of agent engineering that everyone else skips.

Roles this program prepares you for.
What employers should see in your portfolio: that you can take an idea to a shipped agent service — clean, typed Python; a FastAPI back end on PostgreSQL and pgvector; agents built on the Claude Agent SDK or LangGraph with MCP tools and RAG; evals, guardrails and tracing; deployed and used by real people.
Your first Python & AI Agents offer isn't a lottery ticket. It's a built process.
A portfolio, not a graveyard.
Guidance on building a portfolio that showcases your FastAPI agent service, MCP server, eval dashboard, observability dashboard, and a public verification URL — reviewed 1:1, not via template.
Rewrite, don't proofread.
