GenAI Data Engineering

L4-L5 ยท 7 courses ยท 78 chapters

Build RAG data pipelines for ingestion, chunking, embedding, and indexing. Manage vector store operations and embedding model lifecycle.

What you'll learn

Core responsibilities this discipline prepares you for.

1

Build embedding pipelines

โ€” ingest, chunk, embed, and store in vector databases

  • Select and benchmark embedding models across OpenAI and Gemini for domain-specific accuracy
  • Implement chunking strategies (fixed, semantic, recursive) with batch embedding generation
  • Build complete pipelines processing thousands of documents into pgvector with HNSW indexing
2

Design RAG data infrastructure

โ€” hybrid search and reranking

  • Build BM25 + semantic hybrid search with LLM-as-reranker patterns using Gemini
  • Implement semantic caching for throughput optimization and query result deduplication
  • Construct hybrid search pipelines and benchmark retrieval quality with RAGAS precision-recall metrics
3

Build knowledge graph pipelines

using Neo4j

  • Extract entities from unstructured text and construct knowledge graphs with relationship typing
  • Implement GraphRAG patterns and agentic Graph-RAG with MCP tool integration for graph traversal
  • Build knowledge graphs from document corpora and query them with graph-aware retrieval agents
4

Process documents at scale

โ€” parsing, chunking, and quality filtering

  • Process multi-format documents with Docling across PDF, HTML, and Office formats
  • Apply intelligent context-preserving chunking and GPU-accelerated curation with NeMo Curator
  • Build document processing pipelines that handle real-world messy data with quality filtering
5

Implement data quality controls

โ€” PII, dedup, compliance filtering

  • Integrate Presidio for PII detection with custom entity recognizers and deduplication strategies
  • Build compliance pipelines with content classification for regulated industries
  • Construct quality gates that block non-compliant documents from entering the embedding pipeline
6

Orchestrate data pipelines

with scheduling and failure recovery

  • Use Argo Workflows for Kubernetes-native pipeline orchestration with DVC data versioning
  • Build quality gates between pipeline stages with dead-letter queues and failure recovery patterns
  • Wire multi-stage pipelines with automatic retry, checkpoint recovery, and quality validation gates
7

Monitor pipeline health

โ€” freshness, quality scores, embedding drift

  • Instrument pipeline stages with OpenTelemetry and build Grafana dashboards for freshness and quality
  • Monitor retrieval quality continuously with RAGAS evaluation and embedding drift detection
  • Build monitoring for live pipelines that detects data quality degradation and triggers remediation
8

Design multi-tenant data isolation

for enterprise RAG

  • Build tenant-aware embedding pipelines with pgvector namespace isolation per customer
  • Implement row-level security for vector search with per-tenant quality monitoring
  • Verify tenant data isolation under concurrent multi-tenant queries with cross-tenant leakage tests
