Siti Liyana Mohd Razi

Petaling Jaya · Getting Started

I had no programming background and was anxious about that. The first two weeks were slower than I expected, which was actually fine — I needed that pace. By week five I was cleaning and analysing a dataset I had downloaded myself, and that felt significant.

Rizwan Abdul Karim

Kuala Lumpur · Machine Learning

The retail project in week seven was where things clicked for me. I had done plenty of tutorials before, but building something from a real-ish dataset — with a mentor who actually read my code and pointed out where my thinking was off — was a different experience. I would have liked slightly more time on the evaluation section, but overall solid.

Tan Wei Xuan

Penang · Production AI

I work as a backend developer and had trained models before, but deploying and monitoring them was always someone else's problem. This track fixed that. The containerisation module was particularly useful, and the peer review sessions on the production project were genuinely helpful — everyone was there to improve the work, not perform.

Nurul Farahain Zainudin

Shah Alam · Getting Started

I was working full-time and studied in the evenings. The lesson structure made that manageable — nothing was so long that you could not finish it in a sitting. The weekly call helped me stay on track because there was always something coming up that was worth preparing for.

Karthigeyan Ponnusamy

Johor Bahru · Machine Learning

The logistics dataset in the second project was closer to what I actually deal with at work — which made the whole thing feel less academic. Written feedback on my first project submission was detailed enough that I spent two days reworking the feature engineering before resubmitting. Worth doing.

Lim Huey Shan

Kuala Lumpur · Production AI

I had completed the machine learning track the previous year and came back for the production one. The progression felt natural — concepts from before came up again in more complex forms. Having alumni access after finishing is something I have already used twice to look back at the monitoring materials.

Case Studies

A closer look at a few journeys

From admin work to data analysis in six months

Getting Started → Machine Learning Track · 6 months total

Challenge

An administrative officer at a Klang Valley distribution company wanted to understand the data her team was collecting but had no programming background. She was unsure whether to enrol because she had no technical qualifications.

Approach

She started with Getting Started with Data and Python and completed it over seven weeks rather than six. After a month's break she enrolled in the Machine Learning track. The projects she chose focused on logistics data, directly relevant to her workplace.

Outcome

By the end of the machine learning programme, she had two completed projects in a GitHub repository and had begun running exploratory analyses in her day job. Her team lead asked her to present the results at a monthly operations meeting.

"The enrolment team was honest with me about what the programme could and could not do. That helped me set the right expectations before I started."

A developer who could train models but not deploy them

Production-Grade AI Systems · 13 weeks

Challenge

A backend developer with five years of experience had experimented with machine learning in notebooks but had never shipped a model to a production environment. The gap between notebook and deployment felt opaque.

Approach

He enrolled in the production track and worked through containerisation, API serving, and monitoring in sequence. The peer review format suited him — he found the code reviews more useful than the lesson material in the later weeks.

Outcome

His programme project — a deployed product recommendation service — is now running in a personal cloud account and forms the centrepiece of his portfolio. He reported that the monitoring section changed how he thought about software reliability more broadly.

"I came in thinking the hard part was the model. The production track taught me the hard part is everything that happens after you have one."
