KISS + Kaizen approach: Start simple, improve continuously. No complexity, just clear steps from backend to AI.
Two principles that make learning effective
Keep It Simple, Stupid
Continuous Improvement
Follow these clear steps from zero to AI
Start with the simplest possible API. One endpoint, one response.
Use Pydantic models. Simple validation, automatic documentation.
Add a simple scikit-learn model. Start with a pre-trained model.
Add a TensorFlow/Keras model. Use a pre-trained model first.
Deploy to production. Monitor, measure, improve continuously.
All you need, nothing you don't
Small daily improvements lead to mastery
Code for 30 minutes every day. Consistency beats intensity.
Learn one new FastAPI feature, ML algorithm, or AI concept each day.
Each week, build one small project combining what you've learned.
Weekly, review your code and make one improvement.
The journey from FastAPI to AI mastery begins with a single step. Follow the KISS principle to avoid overwhelm, and the Kaizen method to make continuous progress.
