Goal : Become an AI Engineer

Karan Vishwakarma, a fresh computer science graduate from the 2022-2026 batch, is pivoting from frontend development to AI engineering. He believes frontend work is increasingly automated by AI tools and wants to apply AI to solve real-world problems. Vishwakarma plans to document his transition journey on the platform.

Hi I am Karan Vishwakarma , Fresh CSE graduate of 2022 - 26 Batch. Well, my engineering journey was not quite successful. I started learning development in my 3rd year, since it was easy to start with and could get me an internship. I learned web development from Udemy, thanks for that. It helped me to get into startup as Frontend developer. Yes, Currently I am frontend developer. The job is quite well, building frontend pages, managing the old frontend modules, optimization, improve the core web vitals, etc. However, I have realized that most of the frontend is now just a few prompt work, AI tools such as CC, Cursor, etc. have almost covered the frontend. Companies have also realized the same. Switching as fresher in frontend is almost impossible. My current pay is also below the market standards thanks to war crisis and AI. Thus, I have decided that I would devote my time and effort to become an AI engineer since I have great interest in working with AI models, understand the real world data and applying them to solve real world issues. I mean AI is everywhere, I could literally not bound myself to just building websites or apps, I could use my skills into any field where AI is required. Thus, I am starting to post my journey in here on this platform. I will be consistent and post about my journey. Thanks for reading my post, which me good luck and have a good day. Please provide your opinions or suggestions if any, I would genuinely appreciate that.
