Modern Analytics Engineering

The Data Practitioner’s Guide to AI-Ready Systems

From framing business problems to deploying production ML: data acquisition, feature engineering, statistical validation, deep learning, NLP, generative AI, RAG, and agentic AI, with the engineering discipline that keeps them reliable at scale.

  • Build reproducible, high-trust datasets and data contracts
  • Move from exploratory notebooks to service-oriented engineering
  • Ship and monitor production ML, feature stores, validation, rollback
  • Reason about LLMs, RAG, and agentic AI with human oversight built in

// Why this book

80% of AI projects fail on weak foundations

This book gives data practitioners the engineering discipline to ship AI that survives production, organized around the four-stage Production-Grade AI maturity model.

01

Foundations

Data contracts, lineage, and AI-ready storage, the substrate models depend on.

02

Pipelines

Reproducible, tested feature & model pipelines that move from notebook to repo.

03

Deployment

Models in production behind monitoring, validation, and rollback.

04

Governance

Continuous validation, risk controls, and audit trails that keep systems trustworthy at scale.

// Inside
