Most people copy prompts.
I studied how AI thinks.
I started with zero experience — just curiosity. I pushed every AI model until it broke, learned why it failed, and built systems that make models behave exactly the way I want. That’s what took me into the top 1–2% globally in practical prompt engineering.
Here’s my real process:
⭐ 1. I treated AI like a mind, not a machine.
Every model has a personality.
GPT is logical, Claude is narrative, Gemini is analytical.
Understanding that changed everything.
⭐ 2. I broke AI on purpose.
I pushed impossible tasks, conflicting instructions, long contexts —
and learned exactly how LLMs think.
Failure became my training ground.
⭐ 3. I built real tools with Python + AI.
PDF agents, translators, resume builders, chat systems, assistants —
not theory, but real-world systems.
Each project made my prompting sharper.
⭐ 4. I learned to predict AI behaviour.
After thousands of tests, I could “feel”
what the model would output before it even responded.
That intuition is what separates experts from casual users.
⭐ My message:
Prompt engineering is not dying.
It’s evolving — and people who understand AI deeply
will lead the next wave of the future.
I started alone.
No team, no mentor, no job.
If I can do it, you can too.
