AI Architecture — Design Systems That Survive Production

Design AI systems with clear tradeoffs, documented decisions, and the failure modes that only AI systems have.

What you'll be able to do

• ✓Choose between rules, classic ML, and LLM/agent patterns for a requirement.
• ✓Design the RAG / agent / pipeline shape that fits — and know its failure modes.
• ✓Write ADRs that make a decision and its trade-offs legible to the whole team.
• ✓Budget latency and cost as first-class design constraints, not afterthoughts.
• ✓Design evaluation + guardrails into the system, not bolted on later.
• ✓Communicate the design with diagrams that show data flow and trust boundaries.
