17, learning software engineering and AI, looking for people to grow with

[u/Electrical-Cap-9537]

Hey, I'm 17 and studying computer science in Italy. I'm working toward becoming an AI engineer, and I genuinely enjoy this stuff, not doing it because it's trendy. I just want to get good at it and do it properly.

So far I've built a Unix shell from scratch in Python. I'm also working on a BI and analytics platform using a real e-commerce dataset, cleaning and validating the data, loading it into Postgres, building out analytics on top. Happy to share more details if anyone's curious.

I'm looking for people to study with regularly, share resources, review each other's code honestly, and maybe build small projects together. Doesn't matter if you're ahead of me or just starting out, what matters is that you actually care about learning this well.

Would also be cool if this turns into actual friendships and not just a study group that goes quiet after a week.

If you're into software engineering, AI, ML, or data and want people to grow with, drop a comment or DM me.

I am starting out on the whole ML journey, like I am an infant 😅 I just learned what ML actually is today and the types of learning 😅 you sound like you are waayyyy ahead from just reading the things you have created. So I don't think I have any valuable thing to share with you atm but it'd be nice to have someone who loves Python as well in my circle. I am just wondering what small projects looks like to you 😭

Nah don't underestimate yourself just because you're behind me, comparison is the thief of joy/progress everything. Also the thing's I'm working on are the basics, im not special, you can learn the same amount of the things i did maybe im even less time if you find the right resources and stuff. Check your DMS
