Projects — Roadmap

1. The Project Ladder

• Level 1 — tiny projects (an afternoon each)
• Level 2 — intermediate projects (a weekend each)
• Level 3 — advanced projects (one to two weeks each)
• Level 4 — production systems (real deployment, monitoring, cost tracking)
• Level 5 — research reproductions (reproduce a paper's headline result)
• Level 6 — frontier capstones (a genuine portfolio centerpiece)

2. Problem Statement Atlas

• Pick a domain (production RAG, agentic RAG, multi-agent orchestration, ranking/recommendation, search, LLM serving, model routing, fine-tuning, MLOps/CI-CD, AI security, agent evaluation)
• Check its status — not started, content only, or an already-built real project to learn from
• Scope your pick against The Project Ladder's levels
