Starting My Journey to Become an AI Generalist โ€” With No Code, No Certificates, Just AI Tools

๐Ÿ‘‹ Hey DEV Community, Iโ€™m Starting My Public Journey

Today, Iโ€™m kicking off a public challenge to become a Generative AI Generalist in 21 days โ€” using only free tools and zero manual coding.

My goal is clear:
๐Ÿ—“ Land a job or freelance role in Generative AI by May 16, 2025
๐Ÿ“ˆ Build public proof of skills without any certificates or paid courses

๐Ÿ›  What Iโ€™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

๐Ÿ“… What Iโ€™ll Be Posting Here on DEV.to:
Every day, Iโ€™ll share:

๐Ÿš€ Post Type ๐Ÿ“Œ What Youโ€™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
๐Ÿ”ฅ Why Iโ€™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 โ€” without a CS degree or tech background โ€” if they focus and build.

๐Ÿ”— Letโ€™s Connect (Iโ€™m sharing across all platforms):
X / Twitter, LinkedIn, GitHub

Letโ€™s build this in public.
21 days.
No certificates.
Just AI + Proof of Work.
Iโ€™m ready.
