👋 Hey DEV Community, I’m Starting My Public Journey
Today, I’m kicking off a public challenge to become a Generative AI Generalist in 21 days — using only free tools and zero manual coding.
My goal is clear:
🗓 Land a job or freelance role in Generative AI by May 16, 2025
📈 Build public proof of skills without any certificates or paid courses
🛠 What I’m Using:
AI coding tools like Trae, Replit, Cursor
Free LLM APIs like OpenRouter, DeepInfra
Frontend tools like Gradio + Google Colab
No-code / low-code workflows
My laptop, good internet, and consistency
📅 What I’ll Be Posting Here on DEV.to:
Every day, I’ll share:
🚀 Post Type 📌 What You’ll See
AI Project Breakdowns Step-by-step of tools I build using free LLMs
Prompt Engineering Prompts that run full workflows
Tool Reviews How I use Trae, Cursor, Hugging Face, etc.
Learnings Wins, mistakes, and lessons from building in public
🔥 Why I’m Doing This:
Because skills speak louder than certificates.
Because public proof builds trust.
Because I want to show that anyone can break into AI — without a CS degree or tech background — if they focus and build.
🔗 Let’s Connect (I’m sharing across all platforms):
X / Twitter, LinkedIn, GitHub
Let’s build this in public.
21 days.
No certificates.
Just AI + Proof of Work.
I’m ready.
