"As one of Andreas's former Java students who landed a job in the field after graduation, I can attest to the fact that he's an inspiring and knowledgeable teacher. Andreas is an expert in his field, always joyful and optimistic, and great at feedback. With his fast-paced teaching style, he will keep you on your toes and ensure that you're always engaged in the learning process (Believe me!! 😉). Not only is Andreas a fast speed educator, but he's also eager to adapt his way of educating so that it's universal to all students. He understands that everyone learns differently and is always looking for ways to make the material accessible to all learners 👍. Andreas is also committed to making sure that you get to know a little bit of everything in the world of Java. His comprehensive approach ensures that you'll gain a broad understanding of the subject, from the basics to more advanced concepts."
Spring AI Foundations: AI Engineer
Become a Java AI Engineer. Master Spring AI 1.1, RAG architecture, @Tool agents, and standardized integration with Model Context Protocol (MCP).
Comprehensive skills to architect AI systems using private data (RAG), autonomous tools, and standardized MCP interfaces.
Development teams looking to move from experimentation to delivering complete, production-ready AI solutions on the Java platform.
Several years of experience in Java and Spring Boot 3 is required to keep up with this intensive expert track.
Curriculum & Highlights
Challenges we address
"How do I build a vendor-agnostic AI architecture that can switch between leading models?"
"How do I integrate proprietary data from SQL and documents into searchable context via RAG?"
"How do I use @Tool and @McpTool to let my AI perform secure actions in external systems?"
After this track, we can customize a deep-dive workshop focused entirely on your specific domain models and internal systems. →
Pricing is based on scope and number of participants. Both remote and onsite delivery is available.

Expertise through Active Learning
Java and the Spring Framework have been my core focus for over 20 years. Today, my mission is primarily to help organizations step into the future by integrating intelligent agents and AI-driven features into modern Java systems.
Actlea stands for Active Learning – the philosophy that programming is best learned by writing code, not by watching slides. My workshops focus on intensive, hands-on exercises designed to solve real-world problems.
I deliver proven training concepts globally across all timezones. While I specialize in remote delivery, I love to travel for onsite workshops. My modules are ready for immediate impact but can be tailored to your team's specific requirements.
