Mobile AI Development Practicum

We're building something practical here. Not a lecture series where you watch someone code on a screen. This is about getting your hands into real mobile projects that actually use AI features people want.

Starting September 2025, we're running an eight-month program where you'll work with experienced developers on actual client applications. Think of it as an extended internship, but you're building real products from week one.

How This Program Actually Works

We've structured this around how people really learn technical skills. Theory mixed with practice from day one, increasing complexity as you go.

Sept 2025 Foundation

Setup and Basic Architecture

First six weeks we focus on mobile development fundamentals and AI integration basics. You'll set up your development environment, understand our project workflow, and start contributing to a smaller internal tool. Nothing fancy yet, just making sure everyone's on the same page technically.

Nov 2025 First Project

Client Application Development

Now we're into real client work. You'll join a team building a mobile app that uses machine learning for image recognition. Most of the architecture is already defined, but you're responsible for implementing features, testing edge cases, and handling user feedback iterations. This phase runs about ten weeks.

Feb 2026 Advanced Work

Complex AI Integration

Second project gets more challenging. You'll work on natural language processing features, handle larger datasets, and deal with performance optimization. By now you should be comfortable with the development cycle, so we're pushing the technical difficulty up several notches. Expect to spend three months here.

May 2026 Capstone

Independent Project Build

Final stretch. You'll either lead a small feature team or build an independent module with minimal supervision. We're still here for technical questions and code reviews, but the decision-making and implementation approach is mostly yours. This is where you prove you can actually do this work independently.

Who You'll Actually Work With

These are the developers who'll be reviewing your code, answering your questions, and generally making sure you don't disappear down technical rabbit holes. They're currently working on client projects, so they know what's actually relevant.

Tiberius Valemont

Lead Mobile Developer

Tiberius has been building mobile apps since 2014 and started working with machine learning integration around 2019. He's not much for long explanations, but he's good at spotting why your code isn't working. Mostly handles iOS development and model optimization work.

Desmond Afolabi

AI Integration Specialist

Desmond came from a data science background before moving into mobile development. He handles most of our neural network implementations and helps debug when AI models behave unpredictably. Expect detailed technical feedback and occasional tangents about model architecture theory.

Questions People Usually Ask

We've organized these by where you'd typically be in your decision process. Skip to whichever section is relevant.

Before You Apply

What technical background do I actually need?

You should be comfortable with at least one programming language and understand basic software development concepts. We're not expecting AI expertise, but you need to know how to write functioning code and debug problems independently. If you've built a few personal projects or have some internship experience, that's probably sufficient.

Is this full-time or can I keep my current job?

It's structured as full-time work, roughly 35-40 hours per week. Some people have managed it with part-time jobs, but honestly, the workload makes that pretty challenging. Most participants treat this like a full-time position.

What's the cost and are there payment options?

Program fee is NT0,000 for the full eight months. You can pay in two installments if needed. We don't currently offer scholarships, but we can discuss payment schedules during the application process if that's a concern.

During The Program

What happens if I fall behind on a project?

We track progress weekly, so problems don't usually go unnoticed for long. If you're struggling with something technical, we'll work through it with you. If it's a time management issue, we'll figure out if the program pace is realistic for you. Occasionally people do drop out, and that's fine — better to recognize early if it's not working.

Can I work remotely or do I need to be on-site?

First two months are on-site in Taoyuan because there's a lot of direct mentoring and pair programming. After that, you can work remotely two or three days per week, depending on project requirements. Some weeks everyone's remote, other weeks we need everyone together for sprint planning or client presentations.

After Completion

Will this help me get hired as a mobile developer?

It should give you real project experience you can discuss in interviews, which is what most employers actually care about. We can't promise you'll get hired anywhere specific, but you'll have completed three substantial projects and understand the full development workflow. That's more practical experience than most entry-level candidates have.

Do you help with job placement?

We'll review your portfolio, give feedback on your resume, and occasionally have positions available at Thinkultraflow. We don't have formal placement partnerships with other companies, but we'll introduce you to people in our network when it makes sense. Job hunting is still mostly on you.
