About

This final course in the skill certificate focuses on applying AI to high-level software engineering tasks. You'll work with LLMs to design and implement sophisticated software systems, optimize code using established design patterns, and create efficient databases from scratch.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:

- Use AI to suggest and implement software architectures based on natural language requirements
- Build a configurable application that interacts with external APIs like DALL-E
- Design and implement a complete database system for an e-commerce platform
- Optimize database queries and analyze code for security risks with AI assistance
- Refactor existing applications using Gang of Four design patterns, guided by AI insights

These advanced skills will enable you to tackle complex software engineering projects with greater efficiency and creativity. You'll learn to leverage the power of AI to make informed design decisions, implement robust systems, and optimize code at scale.

This course will prepare you to lead innovative software projects and adapt to the evolving landscape of AI-augmented software development.
